Tech Hike & Beach Bonfire

About the Experience

Join youth from Success Center SF’s coding bootcamp program and SF tech leaders for a hike through the majestic Marin Headlands, alongside the ocean and next to dramatic cliffs, stopping at Pirate Cove, and ending with building a bonfire at Muir Beach. We’ll explore the natural areas around San Francisco while talking about technology, leadership and careers in the local tech economy.
