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.

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.  Visit our Rally Page for more information.  We are also always in need of more mentors.  If you'd like to help run one of our future events, please let us know.   Keep Hacking with Us!
