Conejo HackFest

We are an informal group of high school students and college freshmen passionate about education and community outreach. We came up with the idea of HackFest about a month ago as an all-inclusive make-athon where students can use their creativity to build anything they can imagine.We hope to inspire the next generation of engineers, and that the entire family can come out and just enjoy an exciting week of making!

HackFest Committee

Hackfest hopes to inspire middle and high school students to embark on new and exciting STEM focused projects. Our objective is to teach students the basics of coding and robotics, later putting what they have learned to the test in a team based competition.  Workshop Information: Dates: August 14th and 16th (Mon and Wed), 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Location: Hub101 Description: Each workshop will prepare students for the Hackfest that Friday. The purpose is to teach students how to code in arduino (C++) and utilize Microduino modules, simple electronic building blocks, to build any exciting project they can imagine. Students only need to come to one of the two workshop days offered, which is more than enough instruction to enable them to participate in Hackfest at the end of the week.  Event Information: Date: Friday, August 18th, 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Location: Hub101 Provided: Food and refreshments, hardware, and prizes for top teams What to Bring:  -One laptop setup with the Arduino for Microduino IDE  -Strongly suggested: Legos to create your own projects Description: HackFest is an engaging make-athon in which student teams will use their creativity and wit to put their engineering skills to the test. We challenge you to use our provided electronic pieces to create anything and everything awesome. There are no rules limiting what you can create!  At the end of the day, projects will be judged by a distinguished panel, and prizes will be awarded. We invite you to join us for a week of discovery, STEM, and fun!
