The Challenge Develop fun and engaging mobile applications and games that help hard working families: become connected learners, find jobs, trim the fat, and build financial security.    The Event Applications for Good, the San Francisco Department of Technology, Code for America and Goodwill Industries are joining forces to bring you a tech event like no other. This San Francisco code-a-thon is one of three taking place nationwide.  Join us to access your inner hero, create great apps and win from $1,000 in local prizes.  We're hosting this event to help you qualify for the national contest sponsored by Applications for Good and AT&T, offering $50k in prizes and closing May 16. How it Works Producers, developers, designers and teams should bring all of their own development sdk’s, computers and software. You will be joined by Code-for-America fellows and other technologists to help form great teams. Applications for Good and  the SF Technology Department supply the venue, high speed Internet, meals, judges, prizes/awards.   SF Goodwill and the City of San Francisco will bring expertise from service organizations, to ensure your apps can serve real people by giving feedback during the production process.
