AT&T IoT Civic Hackathon - Indianapolis

Name: AT&T IoT Civic Hackathon - Indianapolis

Have an idea to energize and enhance First Responder technology? Help us make Indiana safer at the IoT Civic Hackathon!

The third annual IoT Civic Hackathon, an event produced by the AT&T Developer Program, invites developers, designers, students and technologists from all over Indiana to build mobile apps and hardware solutions to help better their state or community.

With the availability of 4G LTE, law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel are finally on a level playing field. With FirstNet – the only communications tool dedicated to providing prioritized connectivity to those who risk everything – they’ll have reliable communication services and access to highly secure data connections. Now they need mobile apps to help them respond to emergencies, fight crime, and make our communities safer.

This is an important market with many opportunities for developers. By hacking for public safety mobile apps and IoT solutions, developers can mature their ideas, get involved in an exciting community, and create something to further the greater social good. So, whether you’re a developer, designer, project manager, or just interested in tech, join us for this event!

You Bring...

Whether you are a backend person, designer, entrepreneur, student, or just interested in tech, you are invited to attend this event. Every group needs a good balance of talent and your development skills are needed!
