About BAYHack

Silicon Valley Meets Youth STEM

A Hackathon is an intensive collaborative event where programmers, technologists, and tech enthusiasts come together to build, create, and learn — often in just one day.

GIFT’s Bay Area Youth Hackathon (#BAYHack) is designed specifically to develop and enhance students’ interest in STEM subjects. At a recent BAYHack, more than 250 participants joined Silicon Valley Founders, CEOs, CTOs, and Tech Professionals for a full day of hands-on learning, building, and networking.

“More than 3X the number of attendees than we planned for, overwhelmingly positive feedback, and engagement throughout the day was priceless.”
