DEV DEV: init the hack

In response to great feedback we’ve gotten from you all, we’ve decided that, rather than the endurance challenge of a 48-hour hackathon, this weekend’s event is going to be a 12-hour coding sprint!   We’re busy, you’re busy, so let’s get some work done on Saturday from 8:00AM to 8:00PM!

There will be many exciting projects to work on:

• Cats-ta-gram -- Think instagram, but just for cat photos.

• Building something sweet using a Leap Motion and a Raspberry Pi mounted on a chassis.

• UTC Senior Capstone projects including HyperAudio and the Smart Recording Studio

• We’ve got some Arduinos lying about and some LED strips that are just asking to be hacked on.

• Anything else you can dream up!  We’ll kick the morning off with project proposals and team formation. Come with an idea and an appetite for development that would put a longshoreman to shame.

All meals for the day will be provided!  Woo hoo!  

Here’s the updated plan:

8am-9am: Breakfast / Coffee / Project Proposal / Team Formation

9am-Noon: Sprint, Round 1

Noon-1:30pm: Lunchtime Learning: JavaScript Forum

1:30-6:00pm: Sprint, Round 2

6:00-8:00pm: Dinner / Project Presentations

Code sprints are team affairs, so developers, designers, writers, readers, learners, and leaders are needed!  Come one, come all, and we’ll see you on Saturday!
