An evening in conversation with Lean Startup Pioneer and Columbia Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship Steve Blank and Former Deputy National Security Advisor Avril Haines, moderated by Bloomberg View Reporter Justin Fox. Can university students keep our country safe and secure? Can they solve refugee problems, make energy solutions better, and make nonprofits work better to improve the social good? Come hear how the Hacking for X classes are doing just that with the Department of Defense, State Department, Department of Energy, and nonprofits. The courses, such as Hacking for Defense, Hacking for Diplomacy, Hacking for Energy, and Hacking for Impact, are a series of classes adopted by universities across the nation to solve critical real-world problems and give students a new platform for participating in national service.
