We are partnering with Major League Hacking and CareerLink to put on a local in-person STEM event that runs concurrently with MLH Global Hack Week. Inviting interested junior/senior high students or adults interested in this technology. We have all heard of the cloud and with so much of our digital life is stored there we are getting together to learn about how it all works.

Each year, Major League Hacking powers over 300 weekend-long invention competitions that inspire innovation, cultivate communities and teach computer science skills to more than 500,000 developers around the world.

Dec 8th 9AM-12:30PM
South Hills School of Business & Technology - Altoona Campus
508 58th Street
Altoona, PA 16602

We will have food, prizes, and the event is free.

Our "Hack the Cloud" sessions are going to include topics such as:

​​Scavenger Hunt CTF in the Clouds - ​​Capture the Flag (CTF) taking place in the clouds. We will hunt for hidden "flags" in the cloud while learning about web technologies, APIs, web development tools, network protocols, and cloud servers.
