What’s a hackathon?

A hackathon is a gathering of technically skilled individuals focusing on collaborative efforts to address a challenge, issue, or goal. They usually run from several hours to weeks, and can include rigid structure or organic emergence.

What makes RHoK special?

Geeks Without Bounds brings a year’s worth of experience in facilitating unconferences and hackathons to these events, as well as heavy involvement in the Volunteer Technology Community (VTC). We set expectations and limitations in regards to what responders will be able to learn on short notice under stress and what networks and power situations are like.

The hackathon will take place in the Collective Agency on NW Sixth Ave. in Old Town Portland. There’s TONS of stuff to do in the area. Maps, travel, and hotel info to come soon.
