DLL Storify of Level the Coding Field Hackathon 2015 ... Friday 8/21/15 & Saturday 8/22/15

Last update: Monday 8/24/15

The Level Playing Field Institute (LPFI) sponsored this two day hackathon that was held at Twilio's headquarters in San Francisco. Its purpose was to expose minority groups to computer science and to promote production rather than just consumption of technology within these groups. The hackathon was designed to create a safe space while expanding what participants thought they were capable of doing. Students worked in teams and were assigned mentors. More information was provided on the the hackathon's event page.

Below find the DLL Storify of tweets that were generated by participants who used hashtags =  #lpfihactivist, #levelthecodingfield, and @LPFI. As usual, this DLL Storify is merely a "firehose" draft, i.e., it includes all tweets in chronological order without comment or classification ... Storyfies of other #DiversityInTech events are listed in the DLL Archives.
