In Collaboration With

The Kappas of Burlington Camden

We partnered with Kappa league of Burlington Camden alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.to host a Mini StackCon for their younger chapter, the Kappa League. For one day, the classrooms turned into a conference floor.

Students rotated through hands-on sessions led by professionals: opening the day with a guided meditation to training their own A.I. models, learning how hackers take over accounts, recording in a music studio and talking money.

  • A.I.
  • Cybersecurity
  • Music Production
  • Finance
  • Meditation

The Sessions

What they dove into

Session 01

Artificial Intelligence

Train it. Test it. Understand it.

Students trained their own image-recognition model live on the big screen, feeding it examples and watching it learn in real time. They left knowing what A.I. actually is, how it makes decisions, and how they can build with it.

Session 02

Cybersecurity

Think like a hacker to stay safe.

From phishing scams to account takeovers, students broke down how hackers guess passwords and piece together personal info from gamer tags and profiles then built stronger passwords of their own.

Session 03

Music Production

From idea to track.

Inside an audio engineering studio, students explored how songs are recorded, layered, and mixed and how creative passion can turn into a career.

Session 04

Finance & Careers

Stack your money. Map your future.

Students talked budgeting, saving, and building wealth early, then explored careers in design like product design, engineering, animation, and game design connecting what they love to what they can earn.

Meditation

Before that full day of building, hacking, and creating, students did a guided meditation, learning simple breathing and focus techniques they can use before a test, a game, or any moment that feels like a lot. Because stacking skills starts with a clear mind.
