During the Saturday Hack-a-thon event attendees will participate in workshops on computer programming, web development, and design. Young children will also have the opportunity to learn SCRATCH, which sets the tone for them to become future programmers by teaching kids ages six through 12 programming skills. There will be discussions on STEM fields, ways for minority students to get to college and beyond, tactics to grow or start a tech business, and general computer skills aimed at parents.
