After ‘CityCamp’ Comes ‘Hackathon’

By /
Last month, we went to CityCamp to see what brave new technologies the City and County of Honolulu is cooking up.

Now, the city will hold its first “Hackathon” to develop computer apps designed to improve the day-to-day lives of Honolulu residents.

The city will bring its “ever-broadening array of government data” to the party, according to a press release, and is inviting entrepreneurs, developers and programmers to bring their skills.

The free event is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Jan. 20-21, at McCoy Pavilion in Ala Moana Beach Park.

Here’s the flyer, from the city’s website:

Keep us brave and independent

The stories that Civil Beat dares to write take time, resources and sometimes, a healthy dose of bravery. But weʻre not afraid because our responsibility is to bring issues to you.

Your support ensures that we can remain independent and uncover the stories that, as one reader recently said, “would remain hidden otherwise.” Because if we don’t do it, who will?

Give now
