for my dissertation on how hackathons
0:23
with young students might encourage
0:24
computational thinking skills as well as
0:27
important social skills we've translated
0:28
our school project into a real nonprofit
0:31
organization and hosted our 16th

0:37
world problem using technology they're
0:39
able to build crucial skills it's been

incredible to see what started as a
0:43
research project Gloom into this kind of
0:45
event and to see kids who start the day
