Galvanize Austin

The introduction of rideshare options in Austin has lowered drunk driving rates and produced new jobs, but what else do we know about rideshares? <A HREF="http://www.galvanize.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Galvanize</A>, <A HREF="https://data.world/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">data.world</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.rideaustin.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RideAustin</A> have teamed up to bring the data to YOU.
Join us for a 6 hour hackathon using a RideAustin dataset (to be released on data.world one day before the hackathon). Teams will be assigned, and each team can either create their own question to answer or use a sample question provided at the event.
