Making Chi Hack Night a more youth-friendly space

DE Derek Eder Public Seen 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

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

I'm wondering if this can inform our other discussion about adding more structure to pre-presentation time, if we were to design the time in such a way to make more interaction happen and make introductions more interactive (and less like a lecture hall):

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