What will the format be like?
- Organizations are invited and requested to provide a problem that they would like help with where design and technology can help (design brief will be shared with attendees a bit in advance)
- During the 3 hour UX hackathon, the teams will be able to put together a basic idea and prototype their solution - Teams will have the opportunity to present their solution to the client(s) / UX mentors and get feedback
- The winning team and others interested might continue working on the project if they and the organization are interested
**Important - what you will need:
- Laptops will be quite useful ;)

Are you interested in cryptocurrencies, Distributed apps and meeting like minded people?Then you are the ideal candidate to join this hackathon!See:https://github.com/ConsenSys/linnia-resourceshttps://linnia.comWhy should I care?Decentralization mean more power over your data, the ability to retain your privacy, true freedom of expression, and greater competition for startups. It means refuting the idea that in order to have any technological progress we must give up our privacy, lower our security, and forgo control.It means:New possibilities for a new generation of web developers,New business models for businessesMore choices for users.Love Surveillance capitalism? Cool, AdTech is around. Would like some sort of alternative? Come on by and join us. Freedom and control is easier now more than ever using the Linnia protocol.What is Linnia?The Linnia Protocol enables users to own and control their data. The protocol flips the script on the current model of the internet where centralized servers own and control your data, limiting the new services and applications that can be created. Using the Linnia.js library you are able to create applications that leverage decentralized data solutions, all without learning a new programming language like Solidity.What will you do?You'll use the Linnia-box or Linnia.js library to create a web app that can leverages Ethereum, IPFS, and other tools to easily create decentralized data with encryption. This opens the door to applications that can use sensitive data that otherwise would not be available.What will I build?Whatever you want. The only requirement is that it uses Linnia.js or the Linnia-box (a create react app starter kit).Developers get the advantage of being able to mix and match new forms of data and thus creating new types of app, say in the healthcare sector where privacy is essential.No need to know much about the Blockchain, Solidity, or Ethereum.How will you do it?Hack together your app using our Linnia.js library that does all the heavy lifting for you. Or use our Linnia-box, a React App preloaded with our Linnia.js library and our Linnia Smart Contracts all in one convenient package.Where?At Bushwick Generator in the world renowned hip neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Here you will find plenty of iron and irony.How long will it take?2 days.What's in it for me?You will find: a community of like-minded people, building something that you’d love to show off on your resume, learn about new technologies in the Web 3.0 space.Also, food, swag, prizes and mentorship from developers at ConsenSys!Whats the food situation looking like?It won’t be just Pizza guys and gals.
