Students, here's why you should do hackNY

Jesse Pollack:

I'm Jesse Pollak, a student at Pomona College. This summer, I was lucky enough to participate in the hackNY fellows program. If you don't already know, hackNY is a non-profit organization whose mission is to "to federate the next generation of hackers for the New York innovation community." In addition to holding twice annual student hackathons, each summer hackNY organizes the hackNY fellows program:

"a program that pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup."
