What is Gilroy Hacks?

Are you interested in coding, engineering, or STEM? Does a weekend full of intense brainstorming and coding extravaganza with tons of other like-minded students sound (at the least bit) interesting to you? Gilroy Hacks is all about letting students showcase their skills and teaching new concepts to newcomers!

Why?

We wanted to give the power for students to create what they make best: projects that make a difference.

Who are we?

We're a group of high schoolers in the Bay Area looking to spread our love of coding and collaboration to local students.
