List of hackathons in Mount Olive Township, United States in 2016

ProtoHack wants to provide non-coders with the tools, knowledge and connections to bring their idea to life through the creation of a real prototype. No coding will be required. No coding is required. Instead you will use prototyping tools, drag and drop editors, mockups, wireframes and anything else you can think of to visually demo your idea on stage to a panel of judges to get feedback.

The Freedom of Information Act is a powerful tool for citizens to keep the government accountable. The open-ended FOIA hackathon is inviting all journalists, programmers, designers, and academics to work on a FOIA-related projects using data. You can use any dataset you wish, but you’ll also be provided with data from MuckRock, FOIA Machine, iFOIA, and FOIA.gov.

The Fin-Tech Hackathon is hosted by Illicit Mind, a tribe for entrepreneurs to gain experiences, knowledge and connections. This event will explore the power of the crowd, collaboration and exponential technologies to scale projects to make a lasting impact. This is an opportunity for you to work collaboratively to strategically create solutions with the help of their users’ experiences. Illicit Minds are building a community of problem solvers, and forging a brand that emphasizes the need for community members to be involved in the development of technology. So come and make their lives better!

This is a hackathon which aims to increase the interest in STEM activities among New York City high school students of color by demonstrating the near universal application of STEM skills within the hackathon format, a model optimized for peer learning, participation, and achievement. Spanning two days, this event will ask attendees to form teams, and compete against each other in a bid to provide the best technical solution for the problems a the root of disparity.

Dear actors, designers, directors, playwrights, producers, and stage managers: We’re pretty sure there’s been a time when you’ve thought, “There’s gotta be an app for that,” searched on Google Play or iTunes, and found yourself sad and disappointed. We want to make you happy again. Dear app developers and designers: As Alexander Hamilton once sang, “You strike me as a group who’s never been satisfied.” We know you’ve always wished you could work together with theater professionals and fellow developers for, like, two days in a cool exhibition gallery with free food. We want your top notch brains, and we’ll make it happen. On Monday April 18 and Tuesday, the 19th, the Billy Rose Theatre Division and MASIE Productions are hosting the second Broadway Hackathon at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Teams will spend Monday morning hearing from theater celebrities about their needs and brainstorming apps aimed at helping theater professionals of all kinds.  Then teams combined with creatives, incubators and developers will have 24 hours, from 1 PM on Monday to 1 PM on Tuesday to develop either a sketched out map or prototype to demonstrate in a public presentation on Tuesday afternoon. The most promising applications will be selected for a longer incubation process leading to full releases. This year, in honor of the 400 years of Shakespeare’s legacy, we are especially interested in applications supporting the production of Shakespearean plays, though this focus should serve as an inspiration rather than a restriction. If you’ve read this far, you’re cool. And cool people should be at this event. So sign up before people less cool than you take all the spots! Sponsors:

The Sports Analytics Hackathon is open to all Columbian university students. The theme of this hackathon is uncovering actionable insights from publicly available NBA datasets.

This is a global hackathon organized by Time Inc. NBBJ and PowerToFly to invent the workplace of the future. The challenges for this event include creating technology that allows distributed teams to connect in serindipidous ways, creating a virtual watercooler, building technology that allows culture to flow across locations, making portals across the globe, and crafting new technology that brings remote workers into structured meetings and brainstorming sessions.

This is a hackathon organized by Paige & Paxton bringing one of the best STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) educational experiences that a kid, ages 4 to 7, you can have! Children are exposed to some of the best and brightest minds in STEM to engage in 3-4 problem-solving experiences that feature the characters Paige & Paxton. Experiences are led by STEM and education experts and will range from the basis of scientific inquiry and observation, to engineering design and geometry principles.

GHC/1 started is a one-day conference modeled after ABI's international Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC). This event aims to bring women technologists from all skill levels together with industry leading companies to connect, learn and advance their careers. Women are succeeding in all professions including the “hot” fields: Fin-Tech, Data Science, and Cyber Security. These women will discuss what they accomplish on a daily basis, the prerequisite skills, and the steps necessary for you to secure a position in the area of your choice. Women technologists are diverse in appearance, age, and employment history. Join us to hear their stories about the past, present, and future of women in the field of computing and learn from their experiences.

Hip-Hop Hacks is a two-day hackathon for high school students to explore technology's role in hip-hop and how the most popular genre in the world inspires technological innovation. Since the beginning, hip-hop has evolved together with technology, from turntables and microphones to mediums like vinyl, compact cassettes, mp3s, and now apps and algorithms. Students will study the elements of hip-hop, participate in code and music workshops, network with other students, and learn from music- and tech-industry veterans.
