Making Chi Hack Night a more youth-friendly space

Derek Eder PublicSeen by 306

Last month, a group of High School students from Mikva Challenge attended Chi Hack Night and evaluated our 'youth-friendliness'.

I'm posting their feedback here as a starting point for us to discuss ways to make Chi Hack Night more accessible for youth.

Additional feedback from my conversation with the youth and Mikva organizer, Lisa Kim:

Some of my notes/takeaways:

  • Registrations/RSVPs could include topics of interest
  • Use network of CPS counselors to promote opportunities to students
  • students were interested in promo video that explains the community/event
  • On a personal note [ed - this is from Lisa Kim], if there was a way to share speakers/topics in advance, perhaps I can share with appropriate parties that work with youth and may be interested

As I already mentioned, dubstep.

What is the scale of the rankings in their feedback document?

Derek Eder

it is out of a total of 5 (5 is best, 1 is worst)

One idea to help would be to publish the schedule of presentations in advance.
