42 hours, 183 teenagers, & mischief to be made. Assemble was the first major high school hackathon since the pandemic, organized by a team of teenage Hack Clubbers in @figma's San Francisco HQ. 🎥 Watch the brand new 6-minute documentary: youtube.com/watch?v=PnK4gz… 👇🧵...

The folks at @freeCodeCamp made a documentary on Cal Hacks 12.0! It’s got dozens of project demos and also interviews with me and my friends: youtu.be/3PD-vQbpwA8 It’s awesome to be able to see more of the things people built! I’m super proud of the whole event.

Cal Hacks 12.0 was insane! I'm super proud of the whole team for pulling it off :D We had 3.3k hackers and 700 projects were shipped - that's double last year's Cal Hacks! Plus we did it all at the Palace of Fine Arts w/ great food, a silent disco, and beautiful designs.
