Hackathon & Coding Camp Kickoff

Dhat Stone High Tech Learning Academy Hackathon

Breaking Barriers Through the Power of Technology 

A 4-hour intensive challenge for Compton's kids to build mobile applications and websites to help their communities.  

This is the kick-off of Dhat Stone's Coding Bootcamp at Priority Housing to teach disadvantaged youth how to write mobile applications and games in basic, and JavaScript computer languages.  This 13-week course was designed by the computer coders at Dhat Stone to build new opportunities for the youth in Compton so they may enter the tech industry. 

In the Dhat Stone setting, students are able to touch, build, design, and control tech equipment that many of them have never seen before.  The program is open for children in Compton and nearby areas from age 6 to 16.

We organized this day to share ideas and create meaningful opportunities and memories for years to come.
