One of the last great events that I shared with students when I taught lasted for 36 hours over a weekend in a library at the school: Havard-Westlake's first hackathon: Hack H-W 2017. The weekend was the creation of two students, Shelley Jain ’16 and Justin Rose ’17. Shelley attended Pennapps, the largest student-run hackathon in the country, organized by students at UPenn, and wanted to share the experience with her classmates at HW. Over the past several years, the school offered entrepreneurial weekends, but this weekend focused on ideation and software development, rather than business development. Students formed teams of up to four hackers and spent the night pursuing whatever hardware or software programs they wanted. Mentors watched over students as they designed and created video games, programmed gadgets and learned new computer science languages. As a mentor, I learned that I could still last through the night without sleep and after I thought the last young programmer had drifted (around 4:00 am), I heard a voice behind me: "Ms. Evans, do you know enough Javascript to help me debug this?" Of course, I replied, "With a cup of coffee, I can certainly help!" It was a wonderful time!
