List of hackathons about non-profit in 2019

we are happy to announce that the next DCI Hackathon will take place on the 30th of April!  What is a Hackathon?  A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest or codefest) is a design sprint-like event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, collaborate intensively on software projects. (Source: Wikipedia)  Why should you attend? You will have a common experience with the other learners from DCI.  You can work on a prototype together.  You will gain perspective on real life projects. You can integrate experiences that are not necessarily related to development.  You can win nice prizes :)  What is the topic? The topic of the Hackathon is Social Open Source. We currently live in a world where various factors profit from our lack of knowledge and involvement. Let’s try to give back to the community by harnessing the power of our digital age as a positive force. We would like you to come up with ideas to empower the community using open source technology. You can create anything from a website, web app or even just an info page that is open for other people to edit. The project should focus on giving something back to the community in the following areas: Political rights Ecological awareness Social involvement Empower disenfranchised populations (minority groups) Connecting people to resources in: Health, Education, Basic human rights: Roof over head, bread to eat What will you develop during a hackathon? Minimum criteria: Mocks for a product (wireframes/click through) AND/OR: Initial Prototype AND/OR: Landing page Additional Resources: Business plan Development plan Use Case Presentation, Persona chart What shall I prepare?  We need your support and ideas! You can realise your project ideas by pitching it in front of the other students. The best ideas will be part of the hackathon.

Check out Prizes and Rules, Schedule, and FAQ on our website Why the San Ramon Hackathon? Located in the Bay Area, San Ramon is surrounded by people working in the tech industry. Why not host hackathons to bring them together to solve the city’s challenges? Their creativity and experience can help build apps, products, and ideas that benefit the community! With the enthusiastic support from the Mayor’s office, the inaugural San Ramon Hackathon in 2018 was a huge success!  For 2019, Green Apple Education Foundation has partnered with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District to host the 2nd annual San Ramon Hackathon. The event is open to all in the Bay Area. Bring your brilliant and innovative ideas and help solve the challenge described below! The Challenge: Student Well-being Schools are the places where students get educated, find friends, and enjoy their social lives. But schools are also places where students can suffer physical or mental problems. Smoking, vaping, and in some places harder drugs, have become epidemic in high schools, as declared by the U.S. Surgeon General in December 2018! Anxiety and depression caused by peer pressure, parent pressure, and self pressure are more common now than a decade ago. Suicide rates have risen along with them. The state of prominent issues like bullying and violence continues to deteriorate. In extreme scenarios, students have lost their precious young lives to gun violence! Each Hackathon participant should reflect on his or her own experience and choose the problem they would like to solve passionately. Examples of questions that technology (including Apps, Mobile phones, Maps, Messaging, IoT devices, Social Networks, VR, etc) can help to tackle include, but are not limited to: How do we educate students and parents about the harms of vaping and drugs, and prevent them from becoming addicted for life? How can we detect and report the use or dealing of vaping and drugs in schools? With so much pressure from class work, grades, their peers and parents, how can we help student manage anxiety? How do we educate teachers and parents so they can detect and help sooner? Bullying can happen on campus or on social networks. It's a huge safety concern. How to educate on, detect, and report bullying so it is stopped at the earliest possible moment? How to detect early signs of suicidal behavior in students and help avoid the tragedy? Depressed students bring safety concerns to schools. How to detect signs of violent intention and report it to prevent it from happening? Emergency preparedness: how to prepare and respond to disasters (natural or man-made), and help each other in the situation? Prizes First: $1,000. Second: $750. Third: $500 Note: Winners have opportunities to continue work with the city and school district on their submissions post the Hackathon. Additional prizes and honorable mentions to be determined prior to or during the event.
