Our scratch hackathon event and May 4th fund raising

[Valerie Freitas]

Hello all,

We've been working on preparations for over the past six months to provide all of our coders (our age range is 5-17 yrs old) the benefits of hackathon events similar to those typically limited to high school students and adults.  Our final event is May 27th, but we are part of a fundraising day-of-giving event that is taking place today to raise funds for our event.  I hadn't thought to post here earlier not having much time between everything else.

If you're interested in learning more about our event and how we've been organizing it to address this broad age range and levels of experience, you can read about it in the latest update in our blog post series (http://wp.me/p49hYL-1t1) in case it should be of interest or useful to you. 

If you'd care to help out a fellow dojo and donate during this one day giving event, anyone can do so.  The donation links are at the bottom of the post and the campaign for our event can be found here: https://www.eastbaygives.org/trivalleycoderdojo.  We've posted to our facebook page and twitter if you care to help share also.

Thanks so much,

Val
