Calling all hackers, coders, programmers, and developers of all shapes and sizes! Spend a weekend with us and change the world!
Join us for Small Dog Electronics's very first Burlington, VT Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) event. This event is part of RHoK Global, which hosts simultaneous hackathons all around the world on June 2nd-3rd. Meet like-minded programmers, create new and exciting apps, win prizes and hack for humanity! RHoK's mission is to make the world a better place through a global community of innovation developing practical open technology. In this two-day event you'll have the opportunity to help find solutions to submitted "problems" (http:// www.rhok.org/problems) from all over the world. Work with local subject matter experts on problem submissions from within our community, or choose from hundreds of global problems. This is a phenomenal opportunity to find technological solutions to solve local and global issues. Quick FAQs: When: June 2nd-3rd Where: UVM - courtesy of UVM Summer University Cost: FREE! We'll even feed you! Who's invited? Whether you program a little or a lot you're welcome to attend. This can be a great chance to stretch your skills and learn new ones. Community members who feel they can contribute, even if they don't code, are also welcome. How does it work? On Saturday morning, after an introduction to some of the local problems, you'll break up into groups, choose a problem and work together to find a solution. Solutions need to be kept open source and you have the option to continue working on them after the hackathon. Sunday afternoon you'll have a chance to present your solution to the group and a few lucky groups will go home with some pretty sweet prizes. Need Housing? Hotel deals TBD. Want an even cheaper solution? Try CouchSurfing (http://www.couchsurfing.org/). Sign me up!
