For participants near Los Angeles, Hack4Equality offers a series of free workshops designed to enrich your understanding of the challenges, teach technology best practices, and enhance your presentation skills. In addition, teams will be paired with a subject matter expert mentor they can access throughout the 7-week sprint which begins on Saturday, August 6th. The hackathon will culminate in an in-person Science Fair Demo Day and Finals on Sunday, September 25th.
For participants outside Los Angeles, Hack4Equality will live-stream and host all workshop content online. If you cannot present in-person on September 25th, don't worry, we'll have a special prize track for teams participating online. Register to be kept in the loop -- we'll publish more information soon!
No matter where you are in the world, you'll have access to an unprecedented pool of data sources. We’re creating a repository of open source information from partners and collaborators of all kinds. For the first time ever, Grindr will be making available an exclusive set of anonymized user data which will shed light on uniquely LGBTQ challenges and opportunities.
