About the Program
Hack the Future is a program that teaches students from 9th to 12th grade to use their own creativity and the design process as a means to address problems that are important to them.
The program is focused on developing an intentional, rigorous approach to the design process while centering on student autonomy and agency in the planning and implementation of a project.
Through Hack the Future, teens will become full-fledged makers, artists, and technologists.
