Hack Labs 2017
Hack Your World: Surviving Data
Hack (v) - a clever solution to a tricky problem
Have you ever been bored with the things you see every day? Do you think about adding to them, or rearranging them, or using data, along with technology, to turn them into something new? If so, then the Adler Planetarium's free Hack Labs may be for you!
From learning how to use sound mixers to create podcasts to building mobile applications to create maps, you'll be able to hack the world. Hack Labs will culminate in a hack day using student-chosen topics that will allow you to use your hacking skills to change your community for the better.
Students who successfully complete the Hack Labs will also receive a stipend of $150, in one installment, as well as CTA passes (the stipend is intended to cover other costs of your participation in this program). At the end of the program, students will create their own Hack Day, to formulate solutions that they can take into their own communities, to coincide with the National Day of Civic Hacking. See below for full program dates and schedules.
This program is open to High School students only. Space in Hack Labs is limited.
