CU HACKS 2 is a collective, community event that fosters STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) learning skills and gives teen coders first-hand experience in working within an engaging, collaborative environment to create and develop projects that have the potential to make a direct, positive impact on the lives of others. Cupertino Library and the Cupertino Library Foundation are dedicated to providing CU HACKS 2 as a springboard for the next generation of programmers, hardware enthusiasts, and all-around tech lovers in which they can join together and bring their coolest, most innovative ideas to life. To excel in CU Hacks 2, the participants will need to reinforce their technical expertise with collaborative, creative, and communication skills. These are the abilities that we look for in tomorrow's business and technical leaders.
The original CU HACKS (2015) gained national attention being the first-ever hack-a-thon specifically for teens held in a public library venue. CU HACKS welcomed a group of 143 teenagers which included 47 female participants, 30 coding mentors, and 64 first-time hack-a-thon contestants. A panel of guest judges will assess and score each hack-a-thon project based on a defined set of criteria for evaluating the submission's originality, technical difficulty, and applicability. Top finalists will then give a live "pitch" presentation highlighting their projects to the judges and explaining their application's purpose, relevancy and effectiveness.
The Cupertino Library Foundation is generously sponsoring CU HACKS 2.
