2021-22 iSchool Diversity Events

High School to iSchool: Diversity & Inclusion Outreach Initiative

FearLess, Tech More Innovation Challenge: Nov. 8-12, 2021

The Fearless, Tech More Innovation Challenge is an opportunity for middle and high school students to learn about and experiment with user experience design in technology. No prior tech experience needed! We provide you with UW undergraduate mentors and walk you through!

The challenge itself lasts a week and includes time for students to watch instructional videos, engage with mentors, and build their own project with a team of their choosing. The process is completely virtual, and at the end participants get to show off their projects to each other and judges from the UW iSchool (and potentially earn prizes).

Hack for Social Good Hackathon: Spring Quarter 2022

Hack for Social Good brings together 100 diverse high school students with a range of skill sets to develop solutions that address a wide array of issues, although by design, no technology background is required. We seek to explore, design and create potential technology-based solutions that positively impact the world. Hack for Social Good challenges students to venture into a new problem space and develop thoughtful solutions that advance diversity, equity and inclusion. Be the change you wish to see!
