In a message to Dalton mentor and engineering guru Gordie Campbell, Emily remarked that her Dalton experience to organize last year's *Code Like a Girl prepared her for hosting this event, which attracted 630 participants. Stanford's Treehacks has a deeper Dalton history because of alumnus Russell Kaplan '13, who started the hacking marathon at Stanford when he arrived as a freshman.

*Dalton's Code Like a Girl Conference, branded as bitbybit (breaking the barrier for girls in tech), is our second conference for NYC girls with interests in pursuing technology careers. This year's event will take place on April 30, 2017.
