The purpose of the challenge is to create a software solution to aid individuals or law enforcement with real-time image recognition.The solution could include recognition analysis for faces, the presence of weapons, and disruptive behavior. It could also include communication pathways to attendees (such as social media or text alerts) and other important safety considerations.  Data inputs will include voluminous amounts of real time photographic data and/or the real-time analysis of social media chatter.. Data analysis speed, accuracy, security and actionable intelligence are important considerations.</LI>
<LI>Challenge 2: Enhancing the local New Orleans Experience. From nightlife to rideshare to local history, how can tech improve the experience for local residents and visitor experience in New Orleans. How can mobile apps, browser solutions, IOT and Blockchain technologies improve the experience of popular local activities of people living in or visiting New Orleans?
