Call for Code hackathon - Silicon Valley
25 Aug - 08:00 AM
Fremont, United States
Calling all Developers, Designers, and Domain Experts
On August 25th, 2018, the City of Fremont, 42 US, Silicon Valley Insider, and Tulip Industries are teaming up with IBM to host a one day hackathon to help developers, engineers, designers, and emergency responders work on projects around Natural Disaster Preparedness and Relief during wildfires.
This hackathon is a satellite event for the Call for Code Challenge (callforcode.org) providing a chance to dedicate time to brainstorm, plan, and start building your submission for the challenge which closes on September 28. Projects built at the hackathon will be judged at the end of the day for a local grand prize.
On average, every day natural disasters will directly impact 80,000 people, costing the global economy more than $270 million. What if technology could help improve these figures? That’s exactly what Call for Code is setting out to do. It asks developers to work out how to use AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Data, and IoT technologies most effectively to improve communities’ disaster preparedness and resiliency.
With 17 big blazes burning across California thus far in 2018, fire damage is likely to set an all-time record. In 2017 estimated lost from California wildfires totaled $10 to $12 billion, we have a unique perspective that can help drive innovation in this field. We are developers, makers and builders who have lived through disasters. We know what is at stake. Bring your best!

What is Hack the Future?
Hack the Future is an all-day party / hackathon for young adults to show you what it's like to be a hacker and see if it's for you. We won't tell you what to do. You'll be free to work on whatever you want. We'll try to keep you from getting stuck, and we'll give you a place to start (if you want one). This is a unique opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art software, hardware design, and engineering from mentors working for Bay Area startups as well as big companies like Google, NVIDIA, Intel, Facebook and Microsoft.
What can I do at Hack the Future?
You might learn how to:
Make your own video games
Learn to solder electronics
Create a webpage
Make mods for existing games like Minecraft
Create things using a 3D printer
Design and present a new product
And a ton more
Along with all the fun, lunch will be provided!
What hackers need to do:
Bring a laptop. There is a modest number of loaner laptops available, but you'll want to bring your work home with you.
Visit our website and install the recommended programs.
Bring laptop's administrator password to install programs.
Ask questions! Try new things, and have fun!
What parents need to do:
Ensure that your child has the Administrator Password for their laptop.
Check hackers in at the event at 10:30am, along with these items:
a copy of your ticket(s),
the signed waiver form, and
the medical information sheet.
Tickets are required due to limited capacity.
Come back at 3:45PM to see the Lightning Talks (voluntary presentations on what hackers have been working on).
Come back by 5PM to check your child back out so they can go home.
Additional Notes to Parents
1. Help us create an environment of independent exploration
Parents are highly encouraged to drop participants off and let them explore independently, although you're welcome to check in on them if needed. Come back and check out your hackers promptly at 5PM; we'll need to clean up, and our volunteer mentors have to stay with your child until he or she is picked up.
2. Sign out when you leave with your hacker
Parents it is very important to remember to sign your child out of the event! Any names which we do not have parent signatures for check-out are given a follow up by HTF volunteers to verify that your child has been picked up, so please do our volunteers a favor and save them an unnecessary call.
3. Only get a ticket for the hacker
Parents, please don't reserve a ticket for yourself.
We Need Your Help to Keep HTF Running
If you'd like to support Hack the Future, please consider making a one-time donation or becoming a monthly supporter. Any donations go directly into our programs.
