2022 Program Highlights
hustle
Hack the Hood’s programs support learners with a laptop, wifi assistance if needed, a $500 learning stipend, and a community of supporters rooting for their success! The curriculum is centered on building a strong learning community, student achievement, and empowerment.
build
We gamified technical content and added group work to our curriculum, including agile development and project management. This teaches learners to present their work and progress, similar to a real-world agile environment.
drive
Hack the Hood launched its pilot program in partnership with Laney Community College in Oakland, CA delivering a 12-month long college and career cohort supporting students to pursue a Certificate of Achievement in Data Science and persist in STEM education.

Teaching Assistants
With the addition of 6 new teaching assistants, our programs achieved an approximate 1:20 teacher to learner ratio. Learners were given dedicated technical and professional attention over the 12 week program. Each TA brought their personal experience to the role as instructors reflecting the identities of the learners they served.
