Georgia State University will be holding a hackathon available exclusively to their students in which participants will work with sponsors to design a scalable web and mobile based platform to display the best Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math projects and advances of Atlanta. There are no rules about what or how you design except for that you must #buildsomethingfromnothing, and you must address a group or community that is typically underrepresented in the STEAM fields.

  Do you love Atlanta? Want to help make MARTA better?  Whether you love to code, have a passion for design, can herd cats, or just want to help out somehow, we'd love for you to be part of this exciting 24-hour challenge to create solutions to real world problems. You'll be among the first to get your hands on robust ridership data and work directly with people and organizations from across Metro Atlanta to solve the problems they face in their daily transit adventures.  Open to the entire community - regardless of your technology orientation. Coders, cat video enthusiasts, and wood carvers are equally embraced. Join us for just for a few hours or come along for the entire ride! Participants will gather the first night to form teams and then work like busy bees to present their prototype solutions to a panel of esteemed judges from the community.  More details coming your way.
