BVP Hackathon

BVP's Hackathon is your chance to work alongside some of the best hackers in the Bay Area, using the coolest technologies to solve a community issue.  Sounds fun right? It will be -- as long as you can perform under pressure.  You'll only have 24 hours to solve a local challenge.  Whether it’s traffic, the drought, or housing, we believe smart devs and designers will unlock the solutions of the future.
