A little more about us

There’s a lot of talent in our classrooms. And a lot of good work to be done down the street.

Gateway.GS exists to serve local New Jersey businesses. Based in Union County, our student-led team builds websites, software, and practical AI for the businesses and nonprofits our neighborhoods depend on.

GatewayHacks carries that purpose forward by inspiring more young builders to create products for their local businesses and communities. It starts with a simple question: who could this help?
