Hack-A-Thon for Youth Health March 31 in San Francisco

Posted on March 16, 2012 by

Attention Bay Area coders, designers and tech innovators! On March 31, TechSoup.org and ISIS are co-sponsoring a "hack-a-thon" on youth health in San Francisco. You can help design an app that can save the lives of young people.

Here's the details:

Texting in the ParkISIS is hosting our first ever hack-a-thon, together with our partners TechSoup. A hack-a-thon is a live event bringing together developers, designers, innovators and entrepreneurs to build exciting new apps and tools, in this case to improve young people’s health and wellness. This short and focused event – 1 day only – will result in the rapid development of interesting concepts and working prototypes that will be developed further by the participating teams back at their desks and at future hack-a-thon events, with ISIS and TechSoup as partners for future product development and distribution.

It looks like a really fun event with a wide mix of people and groups involved.  Oh and there's a $1,000 prize for the best app design!

Head to the official website for more info and to register.
