Take part in the challenge over a day of fun, food, and civic hacking. Share your ideas, web, or mobile application prototype for the good of the community and compete for terrific prizes. Who knows? Your ideas could be a shot in the arm for the health of thousands.
Students or teams could win up to $2,000 for a day of civic tech.   Students need to register individually but can come as a group or join a group the day of the event.  Participants also have an opportunity to apply for 4 paid internships that the County’s Information Services and Technology Department will be offering this summer.
