Want to contribute, but can't attend? Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to our Hack Health Initiative here. --- Goodie Marketing + Prototyping Hackathon to #HackCancer #HackSTDs   Friday, June 8th - Sunday, June 10th, 2018  Here’s the deal. Way too many people in the United States are affected by cancer and STDs each year. But Goodie Impact Pre-Accelerator: Hack Cancer + STDs is meant to change that. It is a 3-month program where founders see their ideas about ways to help those currently or potentially affected by cancer or STDs get turned into reality. This hackathon, Phase II in the pre-accelerator, is a 48 hour experience where UI/UX designers, digital marketers, web designers, PR/communication specialists, and graphic designers donate their talent, and join the teams of these founders in an effort to turn their ideas to combat cancer or STDs into clickable prototypes, digital advocacy campaigns, landing pages, logos, and plans to get to their first 100 users or 1000 social media users/email list subscribers. This is your chance to help those impacted by cancer or STDs, and possibly win money. It’s a mashup of social good, tech, entrepreneurship and highly-skilled people, and, quite possibly, the coolest community service project you’ll ever experience. Register and join our community of changemakers today! Prizes: $2,000+ will be given away Judges: Jenn Downs (Atlanta Tech Citizens), Boniface Chege (Sr Staff Technical Product Manager - User Experience Lead @ General Electric), Eileen Lee (The Lola), Dhane Scotti (McCann Worldwide), Chris Markl (Social Entreprenuership @ Georgia State), and Alison Doerfler (HandsOn Network) Partners: Google,  ATDC, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Mobile App Hero Community Partners:  Startup Atlanta, Hypepotamus, DigitalCrafts, Community Bucket, Legal Hackers, Code For Atlanta, Technologists of Color, CS+Social Good @ Georgia Tech, Urban League Young Professionals of Greater Atlanta, Atlanta Tech Village, and Hack ATL, and more.

The Southeast Startup Challenge is a 5 city hackathon for entrepreneurs. We’ve done the hard work of finding critical partners and first customers that have identified specific problems they believe that technology startups can solve. Midsize cities have distinct differences from large cities which provide a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to innovate from a different perspective. 40% of the nation lives in mid and small size communities, which provides a huge and mostly untapped market for companies to grow. Join the Southeast Startup Challenge and you could finish the weekend with your first customer, and an invite to pitch in June for over $25,000 in cash and services to help your business grow!

What makes a story/pitch/blog/keynote memorable and functional? Powerful messaging is key. Dynamic, interactive session features examples of effective business messages across industries and functions. Hands-on lab approach gives participants practice generating messages they can use, and provides tools to take away. Messaging. It sells products, connects employees with business goals, and makes you stand out… or not. What makes a message memorable and functional? It’s a right brain/left brain challenge that blends strategy and creativity. It can seem like word play but anyone who leads people or has built a media following knows that messaging is a powerful success driver that crosses industries and functions. “Just do it.” “It’s the real thing.” “We bring good things to life.” These slogans have built brand equity. (Nike, Coke, GE). But great messaging isn’t just for advertising. Everyone wants to communicate in a way that grabs attention and sets focus. Corporate executives leading new initiatives, entrepreneurs introducing products to key stakeholders, managers who want to influence behavior in their teams, and everyone at a networking event – We all need to be messaging masters to rise above information overload.In this accelerated Lab, you’ll go ‘under the hood’ to understand why certain messaging works. You’ll learn fast, fun techniques for generating messages you can use. And, you’ll take away tools to continue honing your work when you leave. Participants are encouraged to share what they come up with in session to get real-time feedback, kind of like a poetry slam. This program is for you if you want to be more effective at engaging others, enhance your stickiness, and/or boost your worthiness to be liked, followed and re-tweeted. Feel free to bring along material you’re currently working on, such as the outline of an upcoming talk or your current sales presentation. Who should attend?

Join Code for Atlanta and Park Pride in the first ever Atlanta Greenspace Hackathon. Participants will work with several Atlanta-area parks and greenspace non-profits and government agencies on projects that will make our public, open greenspaces more accessible to more Atlantans. In addition to Park Pride, Atlanta-area non-profits like Piedmont Park Conservancy and Atlanta Audubon Society will be presenting projects. This event is being held in conjunction with Open Data Day. Venue Host Thank you to Pivotal for hosting us at their incredible space in Ponce City Market. Pivotal unleashes the power of the Silicon Valley state of mind on companies with decades of industry know-how, combining traditional experience with industry-leading capabilities and infrastructure to reshape the world. What To Expect We're gathering project ideas and challenges from Atlanta-area non-profits and government agencies. Participants are welcome to bring their own challenges related to parks and greenspaces. During the Saturday morning opening session, all project ideas will be pitched to attendees. Attendees will then choose the project group they'd like to join. Project groups will have all day on Saturday and Sunday to work towards a prototype. A prototype doesn't have to be working software. It could be anything: a data visualization, a sketch for signage and wayfinding, results from a survey or user interviews, an Internet of Things proof-of-concept, or a clickable mockup using InVision. At the end of the hackathon, all teams will present their accomplishments in a short five-minute demo.
