Date and time
Description
Calling all programmers and designers to help children with asthma!
Join forces with fellow DC coders for the #GamifyAsthma Design Challenge, a one-day hackathon that brings together technologists and designers who want to build a better life for kids with asthma.
After a short presentation on childhood asthma, participants form teams to plan, design and build a website or application in eight hours. Challenging, fast-paced and intense? Absolutely! A mad adrenaline rush? Totally! A chance to make an impact? Defintely!
Participants will present their creations to a panel of judges which includes children with asthma. The top prize is $2500, second prize is $1500 and third prize $1,000.
