The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

Young people learn life skills through DARE program
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Juggling red balloons symbolized life’s many challenges during graduation for a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program held recently at Wilson Barracks.
Fifth graders were helping Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, juggle several red balloons. A blue balloon was tossed in, representing drugs and alcohol, to show the difficulty of keeping life’s balloons aloft with an added impairment.
Spontaneously, Zetterstrom tapped the blue balloon to the floor and popped it with his desert-colored combat boot.
“I saw that it represented something bad,” Zetterstrom said. “Stomping it out was the right thing to do.”
Lessons like that are what the DARE program is about. Since 1983, DARE has taught millions of students worldwide about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Each April, "National DARE Day" is commemorated in the United States by a presidential proclamation, community events and activities.
In Kaiserslautern Military Community's fours elementary schools, students complete 10 lessons over several weeks, working from DARE planners.
Weekly lessons often include acting out skits on peer pressure and watching videos about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Landstuhl’s graduating class was the first for Army Sgt. Raymond Engstrom, 29, of Cottage Grove, Minn., a garrison military police officer. The thought of facing children in classrooms each week was daunting at first. Yet, Engstrom knew the importance of DARE discussions and began enjoying the classes.
“You learn to have fun with it,” Engstrom said. “They’re just young people. I always refrain from calling them kids or students. I’d say “people about your age.”
Over the past few months, Engstrom has developed significantly, said his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Rouse, the provost marshal operations sergeant.
“He’s ran with it,” Rouse said. “Now he’s very interactive with the kids, parents and school staff. And I think he enjoys it significantly.”
During the graduation, held at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Heaton Auditorium, Zetterstrom said he was proud to see Army noncommissioned offer leading the DARE program
“We’re American living overseas. We want our children to have the best education possible,” Zetterstrom said. “Learning is not always about academics, it’s about life skills and that’s what DARE does.”

While schools are closed - and all classes and activities canceled - until at least April 13, some critical functions are still underway. One of the most important is feeding students. On Thursday, March 26 DMPS began a district-wide meal program, providing free breakfasts and lunches to all students. Meal pick-up will be available at all middle schools along with a dozen auxiliary locations while schools are closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every child who attended a public school from the late 1980's up until the present most likely knows both this mascot and this program in great detail. Most all students who have been in the public education system in the last fifteen years can remember the police officer who came to talk with them concerning the dangers of drug use. The authors of the article listed above go into great detail in thier research to discover the truth concerning the effectiveness and efficiency of the DARE program. What the authors discovered is that this program like so many before it was a utter disaster and in no manner correlated to any decrease in the number of youths experimenting with illegal substances. In fact, the creators of the DARE program launched a short-term evaluation of the program after only four weeks of operation and concluded that it produced very little, if any anti-drug effects among the participating youth.

As Chernobyl Children International has worked in Chernobyl affected regions over the past 20 years, we’ve seen first hand the medical, economic and social devastation suffered by individuals, families and communities as a result of the disaster.
Our Community Care program provides at home care for severely disabled children. Many of these children were placed on waiting lists for orphanages and institutions by desperate parents who had no where else to turn. We provide professional services such as speech and language therapists, physical therapists, and psychologists.
Hospice Care programs, such as one might find in Ireland and the USA, are in very early stages of development in Belarus. Working in close collaboration with local organizations such as Gomel Hospice Care, our Hospice Care programme helps families care for their terminally ill children in the dignity and comfort of their own homes.
The children served by our Hospice and Community Care programmes are in urgent need of financial sponsorship.
