What Went Down
Major League Hacking’s Global Hack Week – Open Source brought together college students from across the globe for a virtual series of talks and events. With a lively chat on both YouTube and Twitch, the event created an interactive space to dive into key tech concepts while celebrating open-source innovation.

My Talk: Identity 101
I delivered a talk called Identity 101, breaking down the fundamentals of identity with a Gen Z-friendly twist. Using relatable stories and pop culture references, I kept the tone fun and approachable, making sure the ideas stuck without feeling heavy or overly technical.

The live chat was buzzing with a few attendees jumping in to ask questions and share their thoughts. After the talk, I connected with some of them on Twitter, where we continued the conversation and explored more identity related topics.

What Made it Dope
Global Hack Week Open Source was an incredible platform to connect with a young, global audience passionate about tech and open source. It wasn’t just about sharing knowledge—it was about sparking real conversations and building lasting connections that extended beyond the event.
