This is AngelHack’s 9th Global Hackathon Series. The Challenge is Simple. AngelHack’s nonprofit arm, Code For A Cause, is challenging superhero coders to build a technology that will have a positive impact on the world, people, or environment. No matter your age or skill level, just come and create projects that are innovative, and have the potential to improve or influence people’s lives. Build a hack that people can use, enjoy, and potentially scale and get the chance to fly to Silicon Valley for the Annual Global Demo Day and participate in a week of extensive pitch training!

The Dev Bootcamp April Hackathon is inviting everyone including current Dev Bootcamp student, coding experts, and coding newbies. Come with an idea or join a team on-site and spend the day building a great project with enthusiastic, fun people. You don't have to be an expert to join this hackathon. In fact, there will be beginner coding workshops alongside the event so everyone leaves having learned a new skill and contributing to a project! The teams will be determined based on interest and skill level but if you would like to come with a pre-formed team and idea, please reserve 2 spots for additional members to be assigned at the kickoff. The judging panel is made up of industry influencers, educators, hackathon pros and civic leaders.

Have you always wanted to check out the dark web, but not sure of your way?  Peerlyst has partnered with Intelliagg to give our users access to fresh content on the dark web—checking out some of the corners of the Internet that Google won’t take you to. Find content from servers that will likely not be around for more than a few hours to get information about traded data sets, breaches, reputation threats, and more. And maybe win a lot of dough while doing it! Hack the dark web with Peerlyst and Intelliagg, see full details here https://www.Peerlyst.com/hackathon

Coder Con is a mini-hackathon hosted by Coder Central with a focus on education. In a 12-hour rush to create something that can benefit or maybe even transform the field of education, over 75 participants are invited to meet on February 27th, 2016 in San Francisco, California at Heroku Headquarters. Coder Con is organized by high school students in the Bay Area as well as students from UCLA and UC Irvine. Apart from participating in the hackathon, we will host workshops at Coder Con that may help develop your skills or even provide inspiration for your project. People who work closely with the tech industry will be invited to participate to be judges and host their own workshops.  Registration is FREE. Food will be FREE. That's right. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will all be provided for at NO charge. All you have to do is show up with your ticket and a completed non-disclosure form! (and a parental consent form if you're under 18) We will email all necessary forms 1 week prior to the event. If you do not have the completed forms, you may be restricted from entering the facility. FAQ Who can go to this event? Anybody! We're especially encouraging high school students in the area to participate in this event and get the opportunity to experience what a hackathon feels like. However, we ask that all participants under the age of 18 fill out a signed parental consent form. Do I need to know how to code? No you don't! Hackathons can be great learning experiences to help develop your skills. Connect with your peers, bring along a friend with experience, or lurk on the internet for help! Furthermore, developing and delivering a product isn't just about coding, it's just as much about design and marketing. What should I bring to the event? Anything you think will help. Usually this means at the very least a laptop, but you could also bring in anything from VR headsets to the Raspberry Pi. Use your imagination! We'll also be selling some goodies at the event, so bring some money just in case you see something you like. Also, it's San Francisco, so if at any time you decide to go look around the city and find something you like you'll be prepared. :) How big should teams be? Can I hack alone? The teams should be composed of no more than 4 members, as efficiency gets quickly reduced when too many people are working on the same project. While you can hack alone, we highly recommend that you hack with a team as it is a crucial aspect of any industry-level projects (and it's also more fun!). How do I get there? Coder Con will be hosted at Heroku Headquarters. We recommend you either take Uber or BART to get to the location. The nearest BART station is about a 15 minute walk from Heroku, so make sure you wear something comfortable.
