Open Data Day Hackathon
In recognition of Open Data Day, teams of UTA students will compete to create an app relating to the theme of the hackathon. Prizes will be awarded to the teams that come in first, second, and third place. The maximum amount of members in a team is four (4).
Students from a variety of experience levels and majors are encouraged to attend! We especially encourage students from non-STEM fields to participate. There are many ways to participate in the hackathon, not all of which are coding–and if you’re an English major who knows how to code, that’s also great!
2020 theme
The theme for 2020 is “Movement.” How do people move? What affects how, when, and where people move? How can apps make this information accessible for the public good?
Possible topics to explore include transportation, migration, disability, economics, and climate–but your topic can be anything as long as it relates to the theme of “movement.”
