2017 Nashville Code for the Kingdom Hackathon

2017 Nashville

Code for the Kingdom HACKATHON

 

 Ideate. Build. Impact.

 Create technology that matters. 

WHAT IS IT?

On the weekend of March 10-12, 2017, we are bringing together technologists, entrepreneurs, creatives, businesspeople, ministry leaders, visionaries, and anyone passionate about faith and technology, to create technologies what would address significant issues confronting society, community, families, and spiritual lives.

Together our vision is to provide more opportunities for people like you to use your talent and be the change by addressing a number of challenges aimed at helping release the oppressed, teaching God’s Word, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and supporting the church and the body of Christ.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

• We want to catalyze friendship, passion, purpose, and collaboration in technical and entrepreneurial communities.
• To challenge and release you to create and use 21st century technologies to serve God’s Kingdom.
• To create a scalable community across the world to accelerate and encourage Christian innovators. 

HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY...

• be leveraged to create, cultivate, and strengthen society's foundational relationships of marriage, family, friendships?

• bring the word of God to the first generation of children who are growing up with mobile devices?

 • help cut and/or combat the effects of fatherlessness in a child’s life, in turn strengthening families, reducing poverty and crime?

 • foster a culture of generosity towards each other?

• identify, promote, test, collaborate, augment, and fill the gaps of ministry programs around the city?

• disrupt human trafficking?
