Hackathon - Parks and People United Through Technology

Parks and open spaces are all around us but what it the best way to find information about these areas and understand all they offer?

MetroParks Tacoma needs your help to identify new, innovative and fun ways to connect people to parks and open spaces. We're looking for ideas and solutions from energetic, imaginative people just like you! Come to the event to brainstorm, build a mobile app, an interactive map, craft an amazing game, meet amazing people and most importantly have fun!

What is a Hackathon? Hackathons connect technology and passionate people, inspire us to do something good for the community and solve local problems.
