TechTogether New York 2021 Attendee

"Some misconceptions that I had about hackathons was about who was welcome and attended these events. What were their skill sets? What kind of education does everyone have? Will I be able to fit into everyone’s standards? Honestly, I was just plain overthinking it. Anyone can attend a hackathon and have a great time."

"Other hackathons I have attended in the past have made me feel very stressed or anxious about timelines or competing, but this hackathon lets me focus on learning new things and connecting with amazing other individuals just like me."

TechTogether New York 2020 Attendee

"I attended TechTogether New York by myself and I was terribly intimidated by such a large event. I didn't know anyone, but was determined to have a great time and learn a lot. To say that I had an incredible experience is an understatement. I formed a team with a group of awesome people and we even won a prize for best NYC hack!!! This year as an organizer, I have once again connected with some amazing individuals and really enjoyed the TechTogether NY experience from a different perspective."
