TUMBLR INC :Hip Hop Hacktivist

Hip Hop Hacktivist is a free hackathon targeting youth. Our primary goal is to use the appeal and influence of the hip-hop culture to introduce the tech industry and its opportunities to youth.

COME ENJOY A DAY AT TUMBLR AND WORK WITH TUMBLR DEVELOPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hip Hop Hacktivist will host twenty-five high school students. Students will be placed in groups of five and each group will be supported by two trained software developers and one trained design professional.  Students will work together as a team to brainstorm and come up with an idea based on the theme of the hackathon. Students will utilize teamwork, effective communication, time-management, and all the necessary skills involved in building a successful web app. Designers will assist students in sketching ideas out and wire framing. After the ideation stage, developers will bring the students’ ideas to life and the students will assist in the creative decisions that are to be made. Students will also work together to create a four minute presentation that describes and demonstrates their idea. Prizes will be distributed to various groups based on certain criteria.

The hackathon will also include a music showcase and a panel that involves a conversation between a music professional and a tech professional discussing the great opportunities that careers in tech provide.
