SUMMARY:Startup Weekend Education Oakland - Schools and Tools
DESCRIPTION:What should the future of school look like in Oakland? \nCome with your idea for a school\, tech tool\, after school program\, learning space or redesign concept for part of an existing school. Over the weekend\, you’ll form a team and build a prototype to bring your idea to life and test it out. \nThis event is open to all\, but designed for the Oakland community to design the future of school in Oakland. All are welcome: parents\, students\, educators\, administrators\, business professionals\, designers\, technical professionals\, non-profit\, policy makers\, and community members. \nWhat happens at Startup Weekend?\nFriday – pitch ideas\, form teams\nSaturday – talk to people about your idea\, sign up for coaching\, build a prototype\nSunday – finish your prototype\, pitch your progress to the community and a panel of judges \nCan students participate?\nYes! We’re aiming for students to lead 50% of teams. Startup Weekend is best for high school students\, but middle school students may participate as well. Email oaklandedu@startupweekend.org. \nDo I need to pitch an idea to participate?\nNo. You can join someone else’s team that you’re inspired by. \nCan I work on an existing project?\nIf you’ve already built or prototyped something\, your project will not be eligible to participate. This is to be fair to other groups who are starting from scratch over the weekend. However\, you are encouraged to spend lots of time researching and thinking about your idea before you arrive. Also\, existing schools are invited to come and reimagine an aspect of their school (i.e.\, new schedule\, new staffing roles\, classroom routines and practices\, etc). \nWill translation or child care be available?\nYes.

SUMMARY:Startup Weekend Bay Area: AR/VR/AI
DESCRIPTION:  \nAbout Startup Weekend: Startup Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming\, business plan development\, and basic prototype creation\, Startup Weekends culminate in Sunday night demos and presentations. Participants create working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs. The weekend is centered around action\, innovation\, and education. Whether you are looking for feedback on an idea\, a co-founder\, specific skill sets\, or a team to help you execute\, Startup Weekends are the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take the first steps towards launching your own startup. \nRefund Policy: No refunds will be granted within 7 days of the event if food and drink have already been ordered. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. \nTerms of Participation Agreement: It is our job to provide you with an incredible networking and learning opportunity. Our intention is that you meet some amazing people that you might actually start a company with\, build relationships with coaches\, and learn from your peers. The event is intended to be a collaborative forum for sharing\, learning\, building\, and having fun.

SUMMARY:Kapor Capital People Ops Tech Forum 2016
DESCRIPTION:Kapor Capital People Ops Tech Competition\nTwo years following the push for the high tech industry to release their employee demographics\, the numbers remain grossly stagnant. In 2016 only 2% of Google’s employees were African American\, and 3% were Hispanic/Latinx. The stats are nearly identical for Facebook. \nTech giants have blamed the lack of a pipeline as the problem\, but it’s much deeper and more multifaceted than that. According to USA Today\, “top universities turn out black and latinx computer science and engineering graduates at twice the rate the leading technology companies hire them.” These students are overlooked in the hiring process\, lack the advanced coding expertise to land the roles or opt-out from pursuing technical careers all together. What’s more\, women and people of color that are hired are leaving the industry in droves due to inhospitable cultures inside of these firms. \nPattern matching and other biases have allowed these trends to persist for decades\, making the HR/People Ops sector ripe for disruption. People Operations Technology (POT) is helping to change this narrative from decisions based on human hunches to a data-driven science leveraging technology. \n“Given the changing demographics of the U.S.\, given the renewed attention to diversity and inclusion\, we think this will raise the floor for what companies have to be doing\,” says Freada Kapor Klein\, partner at Kapor Capital and founder of the Level Playing Field Institute. Instead of throwing up our hands and saying “it’s just a pipeline problem that the schools need to fix” or “there is no pipeline problem\, it’s a tech culture problem”\, it is time to look for rigorous solutions at scale. \nOn December 7\, 2016\, Kapor Capital\, will host the second annual “People Ops Tech Competition” in Oakland\, CA\, which aims to continue to grow the sector of people ops tech solutions to mitigate bias at scale. The competition will bring together leading entrepreneurs and investors with diversity and inclusion experts\, all striving to help tech and other sectors remove biases from their People Ops practices.

SUMMARY:Startup Weekend Oakland - Latinx Tech Edition
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nDescription\n\n\n\nThe complex intersectionalities of the Latinx (La-teen-ex) population in the U.S. coupled with their increasing technology consumption make this ethnic group one of the most misunderstood\, yet powerful communities of our time. By 2060\, over a quarter of the entire U.S. population will be Latinx – that’s about 119MM people – representing over a trillion dollars of economic power. \nAs of 2013\, Latinx Millennials and Gen-Z comprised 58% of the Latinx population. These groups are proving to be a game-changing consumer segment across markets because of the way they are influencing their communities across race\, culture\, politics\, gender identity and language — case in point\, the term Latinx. \nImagine what could happen if we gathered 100 entrepreneurially-minded Latinxs and allies over 54 hours to identify and design technology solutions to problems disproportionately facing the U.S. Latinx community? What if we facilitated mentorship by some of the most talented technologists\, business innovators\, and prominent investors? \nAnd\, what if this social experiment was hosted in Oakland\, one of the most diverse\, activist\, and innovative communities in the nation? \nThis is why we are re-launching Startup Weekend Oakland and organizing the first ever Latinx in Tech Edition. Are you up for the challenge? We are and we look forward to having you join us October 21-23 as the East Bay and San Francisco Bay Area tech ecosystems come together. \nNeed based scholarships available – Please use SW15 for $15 ticket for all 3 days! We are subsidizing the cost for a limited time – Register by 10/9!   Questions – email us at oaklandlatinx@startupweekend.org \nStay tuned for special guests to be announced! This Startup Weekend Oakland edition is sponsored by Kapor Capital and Kapor Center for Social Impact. For all event details\, please visit Startup Weekend Oakland Event page here

SUMMARY:2016 Oakland Summit on Blacks in Tech
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\nWe’re in the midst of another year of powerful Black activism during this\, the 50th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party. The second annual Oakland Summit on Blacks in Tech will focus on how Black employees of tech companies can best harness individual and collective power to make beneficial change. Join us for three strategy- and tactic-filled sessions. Get your life and help others get theirs. \nAGENDA  \n8:30am Breakfast\n9:00am Welcome and Opening Remarks \nSPECIAL PRESENTATION in celebration of the Black Panther Party’s 50th Anniversary! \n9:30am Session I: Getting Organized on the Homefront\nSuccessful movements build internal capacity before effecting external change. Internal capacity development for Blacks folks in tech follows three progressions: 1) fortifying your financial foundation to permit greater agency\, 2) exploring individual tactics for activism within your company\, and 3) creating social justice organizations within your company. This session will share insights on all three.\nPresenters: Anthony Heckman (Kapor Capital*). Moderated by Darrell Jones III (Clef*). \n10:30am Session II: Sustaining a Movement Needs More than ReTweeting \nOn a daily basis\, organizers are working online and in person to push for positive change in and for black communities. Learn more about a sample of these efforts and how you can bring your considerable talents to advance causes locally and nationally.\nPresenters: Brandi Collins (Color Of Change.org)\, Donna Bransford (Black Organizing Project)\, Tiffani Ashley Bell (The Human Utility). Moderated by Cedric Brown (Kapor Center). \n11:30am Session III: Caring for Ourselves so We Can Care for Others \nRecently\, prominent sports figures such as Colin Kaepernick have started to leverage their public positions to advocate for social justice. In tech\, African Americans are looking to do the same\, advocating for more diversity in the industry and supporting causes such as Black Lives Matter. Whether it’s extra time in the office or strained relationships with co-workers\, such work comes at a cost.  As such\, self-care is important. We must take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. After this session\, you will be able to examine your current habits and determine ways to change your lifestyle to develop a better work-life fit.\nPresenters: Elen Awalom (Ola Initiative*)\, Vanessa Mason. Moderated by Y-Vonne Hutchinson (ReadySet). \n*Affiliations listed for reference only. \n12:30pm Snacks & Closing Remarks\n1:00pm Adjourn & Networking \n  \nFor more information: Click Here
