In just 2 weeks 1,000+ students & 250+ mentors have signed up for http://hackyoursummer.org
😮 This just confirms what we knew was happening. Too many talented students are
-Waiting for an internship.
-Waiting for a recruiter.
-Waiting for someone to tell them what project to work on.
Hack Your Summer is built around a different idea: DON'T WAIT! BUILD!
🚨 THE GOAL: build something you can show future employers, future collaborators, graduate programs, mentors, investors, or anyone else who asks: "What have you built?"
What kind of project?
• Products, software, and AI tools
• Data science and analytics
• Journalism and media
• Design and creative work
• Community initiatives
• Hardware and robotics
• Or something entirely unexpected
🚨 MENTORS: this is an opportunity to help the next generation of builders, share what you've learned, and get inspired by what students are creating today.
🚨 HELP!!!!! We're also looking for sponsors and partners who can contribute software, tools, datasets, APIs, challenges, credits, and real-world problems for students to tackle.
‼️ Important dates:
• Cohort 1 registration closes June 10
• Cohort 1 starts June 15
• Cohort 2 registration closes July 8
• Cohort 2 starts July 13
If you're a student, apply.
If you're a mentor, join us.
If you're a company that wants to help, we'd love to talk.
Let's build!!!
