upcoming school year.

conversations with me and my staff on important issues like violence, education, neighborhood
development, and ways to attract and retain young people in our city. Members will learn
more about how city government works, how to qualify for a MYLC high school internship, and develop
leadership skills that will set them up for success in college, career, and life."
Any student living in Akron who will be entering 9th through 12th grade for the 2019-2020 school
year and maintaining at least a 2.0 GPA is invited to complete an
application.

Creating art with computer code? That will be the goal of this year's Code Hopper
Challenge sponsored by the the College of Education at the University of Akron.
The event, open to girls 11-18 throughout northern Ohio, will take place Saturday, May 4,

Teams will be comprised of two to three girls and will use computer code such as JavaScript,
HTML, Scratch, PencilCode, or others to complete an art project that will be assigned at the
beginning of the session. Completed projects can be a graphic, animation, or any artistic
format created using computer code.
Each team will be assisted by a coach, and teams will be classified according to level of experience:
beginner, intermediate, or experienced.
Registration is $10 per girl and includes a box lunch and t-shirt.
Here
are complete details, pictures from last year's event, and an on-line registration form.
