ESSENCE and Prince partner to empower young mind and transform our future at the Festival as we champion awareness and foster education. #YesWeCode, a special community initiative led by the Rebuild the Dream Innovation Fund is recruiting hundreds of grassroots training programs - plus major technology partners, celebrities and political leaders - to help 100,000 low-opportunity youth learn the language of coding and programming. With the power to code, the next generation can design a future that works for them - and for all of us.
We'll introduce some of the country's greatest talents in the field here and you can meet them at the 2014 Festival to find out how you can make a difference to the young computer programmer in your life.
On February 7-9, 2014, the Rebuild the Dream Innovation Fund partners with Qeyno Labs to launch the first hackathon for black male achievement with a focus on young black men. The theme for this Oakland-based startup weekend mega-event is "Could an App Have Saved Trayvon Martin? Building a Silicon Valley that Lives up to Dr. King's Dream".
