[hackNY News] 2025 Weekly Fellowship - June 09
The 2025 fellows met a whole bunch of alumNY this past weekend at the SSNON&TI Hackathon! Between the fellows and alumNY, they made 5 completely useless projects!
Also starting this week, alumNY are invited to join us for the speaker series! Scroll down for more info on this week’s talks.
From a Bad Day display demotivating users to self-inflicted malware to a “Buzzfeed quiz meets mean club bouncer with a psych degree in Bushwick” to a visual novel hosted on a medieval computer, check them out at Devpost. Everyone had a blast making stupid shit no one needs 😎 Thanks again to Fat Cat Fab Lab and MLH for supporting the event!
The 2025 fellows have officially joined the full hackNY slack- give them a shoutout in #general!
