Reinvent Los Angeles! 

Civic Hack Hours was created by the leadership at Hacker Fund and Hack for LA  as an after school program devoted to teaching Los Angeles High school students technical skills to solve the city's biggest issues using city data! 

 

The program will consist of 16 weekly sessions ending with a Demo Day on May 18, 2016. Every Wednesday from 6pm-8pm starting February 2016, mentors from Hacker Fund and Hack for LA community will teach students from surrounding high schools near Downtown Los Angeles about the following keys areas in civic hacking:

 

1. Git 101

2. City Data / APIs

3. Open Source Projects


We have created 16 sessions. We have space for 20 students in each session. You can attend more than one session but you must have (1) claimed a ticket for that session on Eventbrite (2) provided a Parent Packet that was signed by your parent through HelloSign (3) valid school ID or the equivalient.
