Asheville, United States
Join us at CCx: Hack, The Collider's second climate data hackathon!
Partner
We are excited to announce a partnership with Global Parametrics for the March 31 hackathon. Global Parametrics has developed a risk hazard platform that offers global coverage models, enhancing 60+ years of big data to create 'virtual weather stations' for any region on Earth, providing insight on risk exposure.
Topic
We are in the final stages of developing our hackathon challenges, which will be announced in February 2019. We promise it will be a meaningful and thought-provoking challenge that will need coders, developers, designers, and systems thinkers to solve.
Play with Data
Did you know Asheville is home to the world’s largest collection of climate data? NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information houses over 37 petabytes of environmental data. At the CCx: Hack, you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with a host of publicly available datasets with the help of expert data navigators.
Connect
Meeting people is at least half the fun. Talk data and design with peers, and meet leaders and innovators in climate data, tech, and science.

Knoxville City Hackathon
02 Mar - 08:00 AM
Knoxville, United States
The Knoxville Entrepreneur Center and KnoxDevs have partnered to hold the Inaugural Knoxville City Hackathon (KCH) March 2-3 with the support of great partners to be announced, to host 100 local and regional software developers over the course of a weekend to compete for prizes in building apps, services, products from regional and national companies.
In addition to outside companies, the hackathon hopes to attract some teams to create projects using open data available from local gov (City of Knoxville, KnoxMPC, KnoxHMIS, etc.). We’re hoping to have a few members from local gov on hand the first day to put the data in context that can help to steer the purpose of the hackathon project. Fret not, we will provide a collection of datasets and real-world problems for you to start with to minimize your time parsing data and maximize your time building the cool stuff.
The hackathon will kick off with coffee and breakfast Saturday, March 2nd at 8 am and run until Sunday at 10 am when submissions of hackathon projects are due. Each group will have the opportunity to present their work in a small group format, with up to 7 projects chosen to present a 10 minute pitch in front a large audience in Scruffy City Hall before the finals for the What's the Big Idea - an entrepreneur-focused event occuring concurrently to the hackathon that weekend.
$10 gets you a shirt (design to be unveiled soon) and all meals provided for.
Register today to reserve your spot, as there are only 100 spots available.
