Capital One® Code < FAM /> Hackathon

Developers, Designers, Data Scientists and Idea Generators: Spend the weekend at the Capital One® Code < FAM/> Hackathon to challenge the future of family finances!! Bring yourself, your laptop and your sleeping bag–we’ll take care of the rest.

It's all about the family.

With a Capital One credit card, account holders can grant family members—including their children and significant others—access to their account. An account used by the whole family can have many benefits. When family members have access to their own, unique credit cards and numbers, the account holders can:

• Monitor their children’s spending
• Build credit for each family member
• Educate first-time spenders on the value of credit
• Earn rewards from Capital One

Here’s your challenge: Develop a solution that will help improve a family’s management of their day-to-day finances using one credit card account with added family members.

Think about a child’s first credit card, about newlyweds learning to manage their finances, about parents teaching their kids the value of a hard-earned dollar. How can we make the family's finances more accessible and manageable?

Brainstorm an idea, pitch it at the hackathon and work to make it a reality. Don’t have an idea? No problem! You can join a team on-site, or work by yourself.

The event is overnight, and at the end of the event, three projects will be awarded a piece of the $50K prize.
