Hi! I'm Phaedra.

I'm fascinated by space, rhythm games, storytelling, and building software! I'm currently a first year Computer Science student at Northeastern University.

I have a Substack blog where I post most of my current writing (mixes of poems and commentary), but I also have other pieces published on the internet:


Hackathons

Ever since I went to my very first high school hackathon in 10th grade (MIT Blueprint), I've been hooked since. From there, I organized a lot of events for Hack Club, a global network of teenage coders around the world :)

During my time at Hack Club, I also worked on developing the Athena Initiative, a subset of programs at Hack Club aiming to increase the representation of women and gender minorities in tech. Here's all of the events I've contributed to over the years:

Parthenon
The 2025 Athena summit for participants of the Athena Award, another program I ran at Hack Club.
Shipwrecked
A Hack Club hackathon for 4 days in the Boston Harbor (we rented an island and ran a hackathon on it).
Ascend
The 2024 Athena summit bringing 50 girls from around the world to Los Angeles for a hackathon in collaboration with SpaceX.
Counterspell Boston
A satellite event to Counterspell, a global game jam happening simultaneously in 100+ cities around the world. We hosted the Boston event at the Microsoft NERD Center.
Think Like A Programmer
An Athena Event (formerly known as Days of Service) based in Boston in collaboration with Girl Scouts to run a UI/UX hackathon with their program participants.
