VIDEO: @hackNY 2013 Summer Fellows DemoFest #hackny

by

August 9 2013 was the final day of the 10 week long 2013 hackNY Summer Fellows program, which places a number of students from colleges as far away as California and Puerto Rico with NYC startups, and also houses them in NYU dorms. On the evening before, the fellows had the opportunity to demo either their intern work, or another project of their choice. In a 90 minute session 29 demos covered everything from sophisticated data visualizations to competitive twerking to music sharing using webRTC to displaying facebook as a unix file system to rooting out spam blogs on tumblr. An appreciative audience included a large contingent from Girls Who Code. Video is below. Go to the YouTube description to skip to individual demos.

hackNY The Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) will present a webcast of hackNY’s Class of 2011 DemoFest tonight July 28 2011 from 6.30pm to 9.00pm, live from NYU’s Courant Institute. This year the number of student fellows is up – from last year’s 12 – to 35, representing 19 schools from 17 Universities.

The hackNY program, of which ISOC-NY is fiscal sponsor, 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. At the DemoFest they will show the results of their efforts.
