you can look at the official hackNY website here for a more accurate description of the fellowship.
hackNY is a fellowship that started out in 2010, creating a space for tech in NYC, as well as emphasizing using tech for social good. each year, a handful of fellows are selected for a new hackNY class, where fellows will learn from different speakers in speaker series, participate in fun fellowship events, and talk with fellows, mentors, and the hackNY network.
