Hello again! We introduced Power The Future 2018 to you and your students a few weeks ago. We received some great feedback about how to meet the expectations of your student HackAThon teams and to help better share the overview of our event.



We have updated the details to include additional information and updated the format for easier viewing on mobile platforms. We are offering early sign-ups, so your students have the advantage to review the information and register now!



We appreciate you sharing this information with your students. This is a fantastic opportunity, as it not only is a fun, competitive HackAThon style event, but we are providing learning and mentoring opportunities to help them gain experience and development opportunities to prepare them in future. In addition to email communication, your social media platforms are very helpful for your students to learn about the event. Please mention this on your Facebook page or via Twitter and forward the message below to your students.



Sincerely,



Power The Future 2018
