Sacramento-area hackers from all disciplines – developers, analysts, writers, designers, product managers, and innovators – will be able to compete for up to $10,000 in prizes. The goal is to collaborate and innovate for the good of Sacramento County.
Hack4Sac, Code for Sacramento, the Center for Digital Government and Sacramento County are teaming up for “CodeAcross” challenge this March.
2016 CodeAcross kickoff event starts March 1 at the County Board Chambers in Sacramento. For six weeks, participants will work out of Sacramento’s HackerLab and will be challenged to build programming solutions based off Sacramento County’s Open Data Portal. Submissions must be entered by April 11, with a closing event to follow. First place will take home $5,000, with second and third place receiving $3,000 and $2,000 respectively.
Judges will look for innovation and creativity, user-friendliness and accessibility, sustainability, and applicability to Sacramento County and use of their Open Data sets. Visit http://hack4sac.saccounty.net/ for more information.
The Center for Digital Government is owned by Techwire parent company e.Republic, Inc.
