Welcome, Innovators!Let’s Hack with Purpose

A round of applauseIt’s Selfie Time….You are here!Grab a partner (yup, introduce yourself) and take a pic#womenintech @wichacks

I tell stories about #technologists and technologies When I write my story about today, it is going to be about YOU. The software engineer in each of you…the innovator within…the visionary who has awesome ideas…the performer who loves the stage
My hope is that you add to your story by… Learning from your coaches and the workshops Meeting other innovators, like you, and growing your network Taking risks and being bold with your ideas

Meet Momo the cat

Unfortunately, this happens…
![Page 6: WICHacks, Women in Computing Hackathon, keynote at RIT in Feb 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58748e251a28abc62f8b82b5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How can we help Momo?Let’s solve it together… What would you use to get Momo down? Shout out
your ideas
Considerations What would be the fastest way What would be the safest way for you? What would be the least scary way for Momo?

Code is simply the tool to solve problems…
As you learn different programming languages, you start to learn which “tool” to use for which purpose…you can combine tools as well.
To make a mod in Minecraft, Java would be the language of choice
To develop iOS App (for Apple store), you can use a variety of “tools” – Swift, Objective-C and Xcode, a suite of software development tools

Magic happens here…Code + Creativity and Imagination = Invention and Innovation
The logic,
The tool that
strings together
your ideas
The ingredient that takes the
logic and enables you to go beyond A to
B
The transformation that happens when
you combine code and creativity

Your Goal Today…Express your idea via Code
Start with What are you trying to solve? How might you solve it? Come up with at least (5) ideas
before narrowing to the (1)…Challenge yourself to come up with > 5 ideas
When you get to your one idea, ask yourself if it is bold?

The Best Hacker Team Looks like a small business…or a startup
Visionary – Future thinker, understands the problem Hacker(s) – Understands the problem and is an awesome
problem solver Hustler(s) – Scrappy…knows how to get things done for
free, for cheap Designer –Can visually express themselves via pictures
Each is important and valuable Each expresses their ideas differently
