Check out Prizes and Rules, Schedule, and FAQ on our website Why the San Ramon Hackathon? Located in the Bay Area, San Ramon is surrounded by people working in the tech industry. Why not host hackathons to bring them together to solve the city’s challenges? Their creativity and experience can help build apps, products, and ideas that benefit the community! With the enthusiastic support from the Mayor’s office, the inaugural San Ramon Hackathon in 2018 was a huge success!  For 2019, Green Apple Education Foundation has partnered with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District to host the 2nd annual San Ramon Hackathon. The event is open to all in the Bay Area. Bring your brilliant and innovative ideas and help solve the challenge described below! The Challenge: Student Well-being Schools are the places where students get educated, find friends, and enjoy their social lives. But schools are also places where students can suffer physical or mental problems. Smoking, vaping, and in some places harder drugs, have become epidemic in high schools, as declared by the U.S. Surgeon General in December 2018! Anxiety and depression caused by peer pressure, parent pressure, and self pressure are more common now than a decade ago. Suicide rates have risen along with them. The state of prominent issues like bullying and violence continues to deteriorate. In extreme scenarios, students have lost their precious young lives to gun violence! Each Hackathon participant should reflect on his or her own experience and choose the problem they would like to solve passionately. Examples of questions that technology (including Apps, Mobile phones, Maps, Messaging, IoT devices, Social Networks, VR, etc) can help to tackle include, but are not limited to: How do we educate students and parents about the harms of vaping and drugs, and prevent them from becoming addicted for life? How can we detect and report the use or dealing of vaping and drugs in schools? With so much pressure from class work, grades, their peers and parents, how can we help student manage anxiety? How do we educate teachers and parents so they can detect and help sooner? Bullying can happen on campus or on social networks. It's a huge safety concern. How to educate on, detect, and report bullying so it is stopped at the earliest possible moment? How to detect early signs of suicidal behavior in students and help avoid the tragedy? Depressed students bring safety concerns to schools. How to detect signs of violent intention and report it to prevent it from happening? Emergency preparedness: how to prepare and respond to disasters (natural or man-made), and help each other in the situation? Prizes First: $1,000. Second: $750. Third: $500 Note: Winners have opportunities to continue work with the city and school district on their submissions post the Hackathon. Additional prizes and honorable mentions to be determined prior to or during the event.

Open Data Day (http://opendataday.org/) is a global celebration of freely available data that can be used for the public good. In 2018, Victory Workspace brought ODD to Contra Costa County for the first time.  Let's do it again!  Register now to guarantee your spot, and please come before 9:00 to register! Join us at Victory Workspace in Downtown Walnut Creek for a day of civic hacking!  We will use publicly available data sets to analyze social problems and help local governments improve the quality of life in our communities. Who should attend? Web Developers, Public Servants, Students, Designers, and anyone who wants to learn how to code, is looking for employment opportunities, and/or would like to volunteer their time to help our local community. For experienced developers this is a great opportunity to give back to the community and meet other local technologists. For concerned citizens who don’t program, this is a good chance to learn about the force that has transformed the Bay Area over the last few decades and to see how it can be harnessed for the public good. Oh, and did we mention the free food being donated by our sponsors!? Before we start hacking, we will learn about open data from government officials and open source technologies from technical experts. We will discuss how open data can be used to improve our communities. Organizers will then describe projects we can work on; we will also give you the opportunity to “pitch” project ideas of your own. We will then form teams and start hacking. We will have ample free wi-fi and access to free software development tools. At the end of the day, teams will discuss their projects, give demos, and the winning team will receive a $250 gift card to the Apple Store! We have limited capacity, so please RSVP if you are interested in attending!   Schedule: 8:30 AM Registration and breakfast 9:15 AM Opening presentation and lightning talks by government officials and tech experts 9:45 AM Project pitches 10:30 AM Start Hacking 12:30 PM Lunch 1:30 PM More Hacking 4:00 PM Project demos/Prizes Corporate Sponsors Miller Media, Kha Creation, Sunrise Bistro and Extreme Pizza City of Walnut Creek Projects: Help create a visualization showing the state of Walnut Creek’s neighborhoods.

Empower volunteers to help increase Census participation by creating an Adopt-a-Block system. Volunteers would electronically select a Census block to work on and then report back on their outreach efforts for that block.
