HackNY is a 10 week fellowship program that pairs 30 students with upcoming New York startups for a one-of-a-kind internship during the summer. Come and learn about what it's like to spend 10 weeks in New York as a hackNY fellow, working in the best city ever with some of the brightest minds around the world.
Calvin Chan will be talking about his experience as a hackNY fellow, as well as answering any questions you may have about the fellowship program and talking to all potentially interested candidates.
He'll also be talking about how you can take your programming interest outside of the classroom and be an awesome "hacker"
Fellowship applications for the 2015 hackNY fellowship class are officially open and can be found at http://apply.hackny.org/

15. “The summer Fellows program pairs quantitative
and computational students with startups which
can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment:
a problem for a student to work on, a person to
mentor them, and a place for them to work.
Students enjoy free housing together and a
pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the
ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.”
