We facilitate Taiwanese students' participation in international hackathons to gain global tech exposure, mentorship, and career inspiration. Funded by donors, supported by mentors, with students giving back winnings.

GLHF = Global Learning Hackathon Fund, also means "Good Luck, Have Fun" in popular gaming term. We're sending students from Taiwan to international hackathons for free ✈️🏨👨‍💻🍙

We want to achieve 3 things:

  1. Exposure: to the global tech scene, talent, and atmosphere
  2. Mentorship: having high integrity, value-aligned mentors is critical for student character growth
  3. Dream Big: we want to students to be inspired for their future career possibilities

The core value of this program is #GivingBack, here's how it works in 3 components:

  1. Donors: We set up a multi-sig for donors from any background to donate funds to support
  2. Mentors/Council: we set up an extremely experience council to review and mentor selected students
  3. Students: compete in global hackathons and donate portion of their winning prizes back for the next generation if they win.

Everyone needs to #GiveBack for this program to work. Donors give back in funds, Mentors give back in their experience/time/knowledge, students give back in their partial winning prize to continue the positive feedback loop that we hope is long term sustainable and impactful 🔁
