• We are proud to announce that Hack the Future [HtF], a highly regarded group of Silicon Valley volunteers, is becoming a program of Learningtech.org. HtF holds quarterly hackathons, where students pursue their own high-tech interests, mentored by luminaries (like Atari co-founder Al Alcorn, who invented Pong). We are serving as fiscal sponsor for HtF. Mark will participate as a mentor at their April 1st event, at South San Francisco Library.
