Although retired, I'm trying to keep some skin in the game. An opportunity to do that came up back in mid march when my friend Aankit Patel reached out to me. I've known Aankit since he ran CSforAll for the NYC Department of Education but now he's the University Dean for Tech and Computer and Info Sciences at CUNY. Aankit told me he had some extra funds to run an event and asked if I wanted to organize and run a hackathon for CUNY students.
