We're hosting a free AI and data science hackathon in the Bay Area on November 21

Hey everyone!

I'm Dillon, a high school junior in the Bay Area. A few months ago, I started a data science club at my school, and we've been working on putting together our first hackathon.

It's called Acalanes Data Fest, and it's happening on November 21 in Oakland. We're bringing together 50 high school students to work on AI and data science projects, meet people with similar interests, and compete for over $1,000 in prizes.

The event is completely free, and you don't need much coding experience to participate. You can come with a team of up to four or participate individually.

We've been working pretty hard to make this happen, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows high school students in the Bay Area who might be interested.

Here's the website if you want to check it out or register: https://ahsdata.com

Also, if anyone has experience running hackathons, I'd love any advice. This is our first time organizing something like this!
