On Saturday 6/7/14 and Sunday 6/8/14 Black Girls Code sponsored hackathons called "Love is Respect" in Brooklyn, NY and in Oakland CA. Details can also be found on the HBCU Tech calendar.

As of Tuesday 6/10/14 @ 2:00 pm, 


P.S.
The following tweets link to posts on other sites that were composed after Day #2 of the hackathons was completed. These posts provide some context for the Storifys, specifically: the purpose of the hackathons, their overall strategy, and their immediate outcomes:
