At the Hackathon, participants will form teams comprised of an app developer, graphic designer, and creative visionaries. Teams will develop cutting-edge technology solutions that will solve complex challenges and allow them to engage and innovate in the 7 Principles: forgiveness, respect, kindness, integrity, empathy, self-reflection, and compassion.
You don’t need app or design skills to participate! Every person brings unique value to their teams, even without previous experience. You will meet for a few hours on Saturday to form teams, discuss project guidelines, and begin brainstorming. Teams will then gather again on Sunday for an all-day work session. Food is provided for participants. Apps will be presented to judges on Sunday night, and 3-5 projects will be chosen. Winners will receive sponsored prizes.
In addition to participants, Hacks 4 Humanity is also looking for possible sponsors, connections, volunteers or your expertise. Visit Hacks 4 Humanity’s website for more information.
