Hey friends! I am so proud to be a technology advisor for the the White House Foster Care and Technology Hackathon this week!
嗨，朋友们！ 我很荣幸成为本周白宫寄养与技术黑客马拉松的技术顾问！
While I'm participating in this event and advising as a private citizen, there is a Microsoft team. Here is a brief statement about the Microsoft team's involvement in this cause:
当我参加此活动并以私人身份提供建议时，有一个Microsoft团队。 这是有关Microsoft团队参与此原因的简短声明：
The Microsoft team is honored and excited to participate in this year’s White House Foster Care and Technology Hackathon on May 26th-May 27th. It is a wonderful opportunity for top technical talent across different industries to work together in collaboration with the White House, the Dept of Health and Human Services, Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Think of Us, with the goal of improving the US foster care system and outcomes for children and families who experience care.
Microsoft团队很荣幸能够在5月26日至5月27日参加今年的白宫寄养与技术黑客马拉松。 对于不同行业的顶尖技术人才来说，这是与白宫，卫生与公共服务部， Annie E. Casey基金会和“想我们”合作，旨在改善美国寄养服务的绝佳机会。照顾儿童和家庭的系统和结果。
The hackathon participants are tackling the biggest problems in the foster care system including topics such as empowering foster youth and alum with decision-making abilities, getting more innovative technology into child welfare agencies, and preventing homelessness and unplanned pregnancy for youth.
黑客马拉松的参与者正在解决寄养制度中最大的问题，包括诸如赋予寄养青年和明矾决策能力，将更多创新技术带入儿童福利机构以及防止青年无家可归和意外怀孕等主题。
Another huge area of concern in the foster care system is that of substance exposed infants and children. Each year, nearly 440,000 infants are affected by prenatal alcohol or illicit drug exposure. Oftentimes, the mothers of these children who are battling substance abuse struggle with seeking care and treatment for themselves and the children. Many of these mothers are young and do not have the support system that they need to get advice and help to both overcome their additions, and take care for their children. Even if they have the inclination to get help, where do they start? And how can they do this without being stigmatized?
The Microsoft hacking team is looking to create a streamlined process by which mothers can access the resources they need, and easily ask for help.
寄养系统中另一个令人关注的巨大领域是婴儿和儿童接触物质的问题。 每年，将近440,000婴儿受到产前酒精或非法药物暴露的影响。 通常，这些正在与滥用毒品作斗争的孩子的母亲在努力为自己和孩子寻求照料和治疗。 这些母亲中有许多是年轻的，没有获得咨询和帮助的必要支持系统，以帮助他们克服额外的负担，并照顾孩子。 即使他们倾向于寻求帮助，他们从哪里开始呢？ 以及他们如何能做到这一点而不会受到侮辱？ 微软黑客团队正在寻求创建一个简化的流程，母亲可以通过该流程来访问他们所需的资源，并轻松地寻求帮助。
Mothers with addiction problems often struggle to keep their addiction and pregnancy secret, and are therefore hesitant to seek the help they and their children so desperately need. The solution must take this sensitivity into account. Locating relevant information about available resources is another problem. It must aggregate resources into a single place that is simple and easy to use but also non-judgmental.
有成瘾问题的母亲常常难以保持成瘾和怀孕的机密，因此不愿寻求他们和孩子迫切需要的帮助。 解决方案必须考虑到这种敏感性。 查找有关可用资源的相关信息是另一个问题。 它必须将资源汇总到一个简单易用但又不带有判断性的地方。
The team seeks to create a marketplace for social services that will be useful to the mothers in need. Rather than solely aggregate data, the marketplace will include a recommendation system based on the anonymous inputs of the users’ needs, backed by a rating system that is commonly seen online. Influenced by the ratings systems of websites like Yelp, the team seeks to create an atmosphere that younger generations are used to by allowing them to anonymously rate the services they used, and benefit from the feedback of others.
该团队寻求为社会服务创造一个市场，这将对有需要的母亲有用。 市场不仅包括汇总数据，还包括基于用户需求的匿名输入的推荐系统，并由在线上常见的评级系统提供支持。 受Yelp等网站的评分系统影响，该团队试图通过允许年轻人匿名评估他们使用的服务并从他人的反馈中受益，来营造一种让年轻一代习惯的氛围。
The team is made up of Program Manager, Yossi Banai, along with technologists Paul DeCarlo, Mostafa Elzoghbi, Stacey Mulcahy, Heather Shapiro and tech advisor Scott Hanselman. Several members of the team have been personally touched or affected by the problem of pregnant and parenting mothers dealing with substance abuse and are passionate about improving the current situation for struggling mothers and their children. They will continue their efforts after the hackathon by maintaining the resources and programs created.
该团队由项目经理Yossi Banai以及技术专家Paul DeCarlo ， Mostafa Elzoghbi ， Stacey Mulcahy ， Heather Shapiro和技术顾问Scott Hanselman组成。 小组中的一些成员因处理药物滥用问题的孕妇和育儿母亲的问题而受到个人的感动或影响，并热衷于改善目前苦苦挣扎的母亲及其子女的状况。 在黑客马拉松之后，他们将继续努力，维护所创建的资源和程序。
I'll take as many photos and instagrams as I'm allowed. Many thanks to Sixto Cancel from Think of Us, Kishau Rogers, and Vida Williams for including me on this project. I'll be speaking on Thursday along with a room full of amazing folks across the Child Welfare System and the Administration.
我会尽可能地拍摄照片和instagram。 非常感谢Thinkto Us的Sixto Cancel， Kishau Rogers和Vida Williams将我包括在这个项目中。 我将在星期四和一个遍布整个儿童福利系统和政府部门的令人惊奇的人们一起演讲。
I'm excited to meet all the teams including the folks from StackOverflow, Slack, Clef, Uber, Twillio, Prek12Plaza, and more!
我很高兴见到所有团队，包括来自StackOverflow，Slack，Clef，Uber，Twillio，Prek12Plaza等的人们！
