Other hackathons, like the NYC DOE CS4ALL hackathon, may take place primarily in another location, with schools competing against one another.

Ali A. Saleh
Student-Founder of Gaynor McCown Hack Club

Hello, my name is Ali. 

I'm a student of Gaynor McCown E.L.S. (Class of 2023).

I am happy to have left my mark through the pioneering of the first computer science club in my school.

As a sophomore, I've founded Gaynor McCown Hack Club with the support of my sponsor (and geometry) teacher, Ms. Gibbons.

When we started this club, my sponsor teacher & I had a goal of providing my peers with access to vital skills of computer science (only a few students were able to take a CS class), as well as "behind the scenes" mathematical concepts and functions.

All in all, my sponsor teacher & I wanted to provide puzzling, and fun, memorable after-school experiences.

I hope my Hack Club further develops and continues to serve many future students of Gaynor McCown, even after I take the next steps beyond High School.
