ABOUT Us
Tinker for Change is an annual hackathon for students, organized by the Computer Science (CS) Club at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) in Cambridge, MA. Hence the name, its mission is to educate others on how technology can be used to create social change.
​
The 2022 hackathon, proudly sponsored by the MIT Office of Government and Community Relations and the Scratch Foundation, will take place in person on Friday, Feburary 18 in the CRLS Library. It is open to all CRLS students regardless of the amount of STEM experience they have. All participants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and masks must be properly worn at all times during the event. Should the event be moved online, we will most likely hold it on February 19 instead and will provide an update here.
The CRLS students organizing this year's Tinker for Change are Becca Bogstad '22, Sophie-An Kingsbury Lee '22, and Hannah Chun '23, who are also the co-leaders of the CRLS CS Club.
