If you’re nervous about coming out to our event, read on. We understand. Maybe you’ve never been to a hackathon. In fact, what is it, exactly? Our hackathon is a day-long hacking session, where peeps break-out into small, cross-functional teams to build something cool. Ideas include open data/civic hacking, games, or a hyper-local Island app — you name it. At the end of the day, teams present their work to the group.
