Homeless Man Plans to Attend Hackathon After Learning Coding From Developer
A New York City homeless man named Leo is planning on attending his first hackathon this week after spending 45 days studying how to code with a software developer named Patrick McConlogue. That is if he can get out of jail.
This unusual story began a couple of months back. After walking past Leo panhandling on a daily basis, Patrick approached him and offered him $100 in cash or the chance to learn coding. Leo took Patrick up on his offer to learn coding and together they embarked on the teacher/student initiative through the name The Journeyman Challenge.
