AT&T Mobile App Hackathon (IoT) San Diego - Hack-o-ween with CyberTECH
CODE WITH US FOR HACK-O-WEEN!
Join us for Hack-o-ween, a Mobile App Hackathon produced by the AT&T Developer Program and CyberTECH. Hackathons are coding competitions, where individuals and teams build mobile apps from scratch over a 24 hour period. The apps are then pitched to judges and prizes award for the best apps. Hackathons are a great opportunity to learn new technologies, network with fellow developers, enjoy some food, most importantly have some fun!
The Hackathon will be held in downtown San Diego at CyberTECH's cybersecurity incubator and shared workspace, CyberHive, starting Saturday, Oct 29 and ending Sunday Oct 30 approximately 5pm. See the full schedule below.
Smart Cities with the City of San Diego
The hackathon theme is Smart Cities. The City of San Diego will be showcasing their datasets and asking you to build IoT or mobile app solutions that use the datasets. Smart Cities use technology to better serve their citizens.
One scenario to consider are apps that address the City’s Climate Action Plan. Read more about this plan at https://www.sandiego.gov/planning/genplan/cap. Other Smart Cities topics include First Responders, Public Health, Public Safety, Security, Traffic and Transportation, or related areas. See the City's datasets for more ideas.
