This virtual conference is our youth-centered event for HARLEM WEEK! This event will consist of a conversation with Young artivists and students about the issues of COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter and how technology informs what they see and how they communicate plus our Technology Hack-A-Thon. The Hack-A-Thon is geared toward middle and high school students and the focus is: “Tech Meets the Movement of the People.” Teams of students will be presented with a challenge to solve digitally by creating an app, website or another digital solution. The teams then present their projects and the best ones will win prizes for their practicality and creativity!

Open to young people ages 13-24, this conference will feature sessions on careers in technology (“21st Century Jobs”), technology based exhibits and demonstrations in the workplace and special hackathon activities focused on community service and registering people to vote.
