Hackathon 2016 powered by AT&T

Emerging Prairie exists to energize communities.

Emerging Prairie

Gather 'round, Hackers! Let's have some fun. 
A good Hackathon is a fun and competitive event, where groups will be competing for prizes over a 24-hour period. Relevant data sets will be sent out to participants prior to the event. The theme will be announced soon.
 
Skills: No need to be a master-level techie to participate - some knowledge of coding, programming, design or data analysis is needed. We're ready to welcome students, young hackers, and old pros alike!
Teams: Hackers may - and are encouraged to - form teams! Teams may be 1-4 people.
Goal: The goal of the hackathon is to build something in 24-hours that connects people to the community. Use any tools at your disposal to get as far as possible by the end of the event and present your idea to the judges with the hopes of winning claiming a prize!
Hackathon Theme: Civic Engagement
Description: 
<DIV CLASS="gmail_default" STYLE="font-size: 13px; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">Participants can build anything that helps connect people with their community: mobile apps, games, online tools, databases, visualizations, analytics, mashups, surveys, etc. We will have at least two new data sets: 2015 and 2016 Great Rides Bike Share ridership data, PLUS access to their live bike checkin and checkout API. In addition we will have the last month's worth of data for the new pedestrian counter in downtown Fargo, including live access to the realtime API. </DIV>

<DIV CLASS="gmail_default" STYLE="font-size: 13px; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">We have a third datasource that will hopefully make a debut at the hackathon from a downtown Fargo resource, although it's currently under wraps.</DIV>

<DIV CLASS="gmail_default" STYLE="font-size: 13px; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">As always, participants are welcome to use data from previous hackathons as well as any combination of libraries and third party APIs to build their apps.</DIV>
