Unfortunately he won't be able to join us since he'll be in Berlin. But we've got some amazing folks coming from Mozilla and the hacks will also be placed in front of a variety of funders (NGOs, angels etc.) who want to place resources behind innovative tech that powers experiential education. We're looking for some talented hackers in the LA area to take part in an exciting hack for social good. The goal is to create prototypes that places education directly in students' hands in an effort to unlock creativity in at-risk students. On Oct 27th we'll be staging a hackathon in association with the Mozilla Foundation, DIY DAYS, the WorkBook Project, Open Access Week and UCLA. The goal is to develop prototypes that help to reboot education.

Young Research Library on UCLA's campus Come with a team or come and find a team to work with. This is a social hack that is intended to be fun and for a very good cause. The goal is to help reboot aspects of the educational system, find ways to empower students and learning while at the same time having fun. Prototypes will be presented on stage on Oct 28th at the close of DIY DAYS in front of an audience as well as a special panel of angel investors, NGOs and educators.
