The first one was held in spring 2026, with [mentors](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mentor) and workshops so students who cannot code can take part. Discussed in the [Techlahoma Slack](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/techlahoma-slack) as a 2026 student-only event that welcomed community volunteers for workshops and judging.
**For example:** A [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) volunteers as a judge at the Hurricane Hackathon and meets students who might become [interns](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/internship).
