Dhat Stone Academy & Priority

Register now for the Dhat Stone Academy/Priority We Are Code VR Hackathon! We are enlisting students in Compton to compete with students in Oakland. They will engage in a computer coding competition to create the best mobile app, virtual reality games &amp; website ideas that solve a social or economic problem in their communities.
Film actor, dancer and singer Ben Vereen will be on-site in Compton California on both competition days to entertain and give an inspirational talk. 
There will be Virtual Reality technology workshops by NanoVR, and Animation development workshops from the famous Grammy Award winning Animator Leo Sullivan, producer of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. 
At the We Are Code Virtual Reality Hackathon students will also experience Exhibition Virtual Space, a futuristic glass structure with waterfalls, grassy hills, and lakes. Compton and Oakland students will communicate and interact through a full immersive Virtual Reality experience. 
We are thrilled to announce that Oculus will be sponsoring the  prizes for the first place winners with VR Gear and other cool stuff!
Winners will receive cash prizes, T-shirts, Google VR Cardboard, gadgets, free coding classes, and a chance to turn your winning app idea into a business!
