 Region’s first ever all-girl youth hackathon is a partnership with Tech4Kidz, Hack Upstate, The Tech Garden and AT&T to engage more local girls in computer coding, the fastest growing profession in the world.
On Saturday, December 1 girls as young as 10 years-old will bring their laptops, imagination, and teamwork to the region’s first all-girl youth hackathon in the Central New York region – known as the AT&T CuseGirlHacks. The hackathon will take place at Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School, 1001 Park Ave. Syracuse from 10am-6pm on December 1, 2018. The free all-girls hackathon is a collaboration between Tech4Kidz, The Tech Garden, Hack Upstate and AT&T, and was born out of a desire to expand coding opportunities for Central New York girls and to encourage them to enter the field of technology, specifically coding, an industry that is alarmingly male-dominant.  RepHike, a marketing software that uses machine learning to recommend content creators on social media to brands, recently announced Paul Singh, Results Junkies founder and former 500 Startups partner, as an investor. The deal marks Singh’s first investment in a Western or Upstate New York company.
