We kicked off 2022 off with a field trip to PayPal park, courtesy of San Jose Earthquakes and Paypal to watch the San Jose Quakes play!
Thanks to thredUP for inviting our learners to visit their headquarters here in Oakland and providing an experiential learning opportunity with a career panel, a product challenge created for Hack the Hood learners, office tour and a networking hour.
Our 2022 Fall graduation was our first hybrid event. Dr. Jose Herndandez, the first Mexican-American astronaut, joined us as our keynote speaker. He shared his story with our learners about what it means to have perseverance and determination when it comes to achieving your dreams.
At the end of 2022, we launched our Tech Futures fundraiser with a movie screening for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’; and had a great turnout with volunteers, learners, and many community members!
