Bugfix and Chill (The Hack Foundation)

Our mission is to create a community of high school coders where they’re allowed to learn, grow, sharpen their skills with each other, and to provide opportunities to high school students to enhance their abilities. We want to see a future where high schooler students have the resources and tools they need to break into advanced project-based programming. There are plenty of resources that introduce students to programming (ie Scratch or Code.org), but we found through our own journeys that there is a gap between the intermediate-advanced leg. Our nonprofit is not to introduce students to programming, it’s to bridge the gap and massively sharpen their skills by creating real world projects and introducing them to real project-based hackathons.

Our team features 40 industry experts and over 250 members in 9 countries.

Organize coding hackathons for high school students, set up workshops at our hackathons, make slideshows for free coding camps, and mentor students. 

Volunteers will engage in a variety of activities related to furthering the educational development of other students.
