- [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianaleeg/)


Nonprofit Pitch from Diana Lee Guzman

Hackers form teams of 3-5 people around one of the nonprofit problems they want to solve, create a team on ohack.dev and create a Slack channel
- [Manage team](/hack/fall-2026/manageteam)

Teams Formed & Problem Selected

Go! Hackers start asking more questions to the nonprofit to understand the problem, then start prototyping, designing, and writing code
- Ask in-person and in Slack at [#npo-coding-in-color](https://opportunity-hack.slack.com/archives/C0CFBR5PUSK)

Coding in Color (CIC) is a Phoenix nonprofit bringing computer science and artificial intelligence education to Arizona high schoolers. Founded in May 2021, it runs year-long courses, summer camps, AI Academy programs, teacher training, and Day of Compute events serving more than 140 Phoenix Union students. Its programs reach schools including Desert Edge, Maryvale, and Salt River, with support from Microsoft TechSpark, APS Foundation, SRP, and Verizon Foundation. At Opportunity Hack Fall 2026, student teams will build tools to help Coding in Color track learning, follow alumni outcomes, and turn student progress into stronger grant stories for funders and Arizona communities.

Hi team, I'm available online for mentor support and any project assistance. Excited to join with you. Thanks.

Started working on some P1s before some P0s

Connected with the team and reviewed their GitHub documentation and development priorities. The team is working on P0 features including curriculum module creation and preserving student progress during retries. Identified important validation areas, including end-to-end module workflows, student progress retention, accessibility, security, and demo readiness. Recommended prioritizing core MVP functionality before implementing additional enhancements.

Quick question for the CIC project (#djkku): can teams use mock/seeded data for students, lessons and progress, or is there an external API or dataset from CIC we’re expected to pull from? Also, should we include any of CIC’s real curriculum content, or is sample content fine for the demo?

Clarified the team's questions on input data. confirmed no CIC API/dataset is provided, mock/seeded data and sample content are fine for the demo.

Answered questions about problem statement and MVP. Discussed how platform will interact with third parties.

Talked about how to show the information on unified UI

Reviewed GitHub repository, project scope, and documented architecture. The team has established a strong FastAPI, React, and PostgreSQL foundation with authentication, session management, CSRF protection, and audit logging. Recommended prioritizing the completion and testing of core donor-management workflows, validating role-based access controls, and ensuring end-to-end demo readiness. Accessibility and full application functionality require further verification.

Hi avengers, Prasanna here, one of the mentors (Staff SWE at SoFi, ex-AWS). Stopping by to offer help whenever you need it on brainstorming, system design, backend, AWS, databases, or a scope and demo check. Easiest way to reach me is a DM on Slack (Prasanna Raghavendar) or tag me in #ask-a-mentor. Good luck with the Coding in Color build.

Hello team,
Just checking in. I am a mentor here and well-versed in designing backend, cloud, and front-end systems. Feel free to reach out if you get stuck or need ideas.

Reviewed the team's GitHub repository, project scope, and documented architecture. The React, FastAPI, and Supabase/PostgreSQL stack provides a solid foundation for donor management, deduplication, outreach, and reporting. Recommended validating the core workflows end-to-end, completing setup documentation, verifying role-based access controls, and ensuring demo readiness. Additional branch implementations and accessibility testing still require verification.

Reviewed the Hackleaf project documentation, architecture, and current implementation status. The team has established a solid technical foundation with well-organized requirements and development documentation. Key areas requiring attention include completing P0 donor-management workflows, authentication and role-based access controls, end-to-end integration, and demo readiness. Recommended prioritizing essential functionality and validating the complete donor-management workflow before adding enhancements. Accessibility and full application behavior still require testing.

Hi Team Oracle, I am Prasanna, a mentor. I am a Staff SWE at SoFi (ex-AWS) with 15 years of experience. I have previously won Battlehack Chicago 2015. Please let me know if you need any help brainstorming, designing or implementing the system.

Reviewed project scope and public GitHub repository. The proposed curriculum and student progress platform addresses a meaningful educational need for Coding in Color. However, the main branch currently contains primarily starter documentation, with implementation details, technology stack, setup instructions, and demo links still pending. Recommended updating the repository with current progress, prioritizing essential MVP workflows, and validating end-to-end functionality before final submission. Further architecture, security, and accessibility assessment requires access to the working implementation.

ASU Fall Hackathon 2026 | Phoenix Hackathon for Nonprofits: Nov 14-15

CIC's curriculum lives in slide decks, docs, and printed worksheets. A partner-school teacher needs a lot of training to deliver a CIC deck; what teachers are used to is handing students a code.org link and letting the platform teach.
