HackNY Interviews app for iPhone and iPad

hackNY aims to federate the next generation of hackers for the New York innovation community. Co-organized by faculty from NYU and Columbia, hackNY organizes the summer Fellows program and student ‘hackathons’ during the school year.

The summer Fellows program 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.

In 2014, Kyle Ryan (University of Rochester) walked around Union Square each day with the fellows to complete interviews about life and work. He built the app with Garrett Parrish (Harvard University) to display the interviews.
