Top Quotes

We essentially tried to start a hackathon. It was supposed to be a one-day hackathon, not a company not an organization but it got canceled cause it was supposed to be in March of 2020, and three days before it was supposed to happen New York City went on lockdown. No events, nothing everyone was supposed to say inside. We were like dam it! We had IBM as a sponsor and everything so we were really bumbed out. But we decided to host workshops instead because we had a lot of interest. People from like Odoho were like this is so cool I wish I could come in will you host anything near where I am? But thankfully due to COVID, there were a lot more opportunities to do things online. So, then we got so much interest that we realized this was a huge gap as there are not really people who are creating quantum computing for beginners or high school students.
