About us

The HackaKhan team consists of four high schoolers who are passionate about using technology for social good. We each fell in love with computer science through a mix of attending hackathons and working on independent projects. The buzz around Khanmigo and Chat-GPT inspired us to organize our own event for students to innovate and create their own educational tools. We aim to provide an environment for our middle and high school participants to innovate based on their experiences in all kinds of Bay Area schools.
