The Education Foundation of Sarasota County will host the region’s first student SRQHacks Hackathon, an intense three-day immersion experience, pairing student and mentor teams working together to create technological solutions addressing our community’s critical issues. The goal of the Hackathon is to identify underserved youth, ages 13 through 18, who have great potential yet come from low-income settings that may limit their opportunities, and expose them to technology, coding and careers available in the computer science field. The Education Foundation of Sarasota County is actively recruiting qualified volunteer mentors who represent developers (programmers, engineers, computer-science college students), designers (front-end developers or graphic designers) and innovators (educators, entrepreneurs and problem solvers) to work with the students. It also is asking for sponsors to invest in this multifaceted event.
