Help solve the city's biggest challenges like homelessness, transportation, crime, affordable housing and public safety, to beautification projects and business ideas that will make the city more livable.
Anyone can pitch an idea or problem. From there, small groups form to brainstorm solutions and start tackling the issue with design and code. Publicly accessible data sets will be used to support the solutions. At the end of two days, each group will present a workable solution that improves the daily life for real people in our community. There will be a competitive element to the weekend with over $3,000 in cash prizes and other goodies available to top teams.
