My Brother's Keeper Hackathon (#MBKHACK) is a bold new hackathon model out of Qeyno Labs that is strongly aligned with President Obama and the White House's call to action for companies, organizations, foundations, and community leaders to work together to improve the life outcomes of young men of color.

A majority of our youth participants, referred to as "Trailblazers", will include Black, Latino, Native-American and under-represented Asian and Pacific Islanders who identify as male and inclusive of transgender males.

Our trailblazers will spend three days on teams working alongside adult professionals supporting them as they build websites and mobile apps that will positively impact their community and improve their life outcomes.

You must register at http://www.mbkhack.com to participate for this event.
