DistrictCon 1.0
From January 24th to January 25th, I was part of the inagural group of student scholars at DistrictCon, a DC-based hacker conference. While there, I spoke with vendors, hackers, and other students.
I’d like to extend my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to all the organizers who made this event and the student sponsoring happen. In particular, I’d like to shout out Sarah P. for being so flexible the arrangements and so invested in making sure each student got something out of it.
It was the first ever hacker conference I’ve been to. I participated in a really cool badge challenge made by Jeff, AKA BigTaro. His site (and a GIF of the badge in action) is available here.
