Executive Summary
HackGT presents Catalyst, a free day of STEAM directed towards underserved high school students in the Metro Atlanta area. We are eager to welcome 400+ students on April 13th to Georgia Tech's Campus, making it one of the largest high school learn-a-thon events hosted in the country.
This will be an opportunity for participants to:
• Learn about the world of STEAM and Computer Science as a career path
• Gain insight into impactful, widely known tech companies
• Receive mentorship from college students, industry professionals, and executives who were once in their shoes.
• Connect with summer camp opportunities at Georgia Tech and in the city to further their education and exposure
At the end of the day, we hope to inspire the students to pursue computer science, expand their opportunity horizon, and leave them with a glimpse of their future potential.
