Hack4Reno is primarily a 24-hour hackathon where teams build apps that somehow benefit the local community. This means creating apps for the web and/or other platforms that aggregate, collect or share information about the area. Teams are not required to use only city data – any and all data sources are encouraged but a focus on Reno makes it much more challenging. These apps don’t have to be boring and serious either. Have fun with it. Maybe someone really wants to know where the closest food truck is.

The hackathon starts at noon on October 15th and the hacking continues until noon on October 16th when we break for lunch and allow the teams to prepare presentations. At 1:30PM the teams present what they’ve built and compete for prizes, recognition, and bragging rights.
