Sports, Arena & Entertainment Community Hackathon
Location: In-person
Build something new with your family, hack on cutting-edge technology and win cool prizes at the Sports, Arena & Entertainment Community Hackathon at SunTrust Park on Feb 17th.
What is a Hackathon?
A hackathon is a design sprint-like event in which participants collaborate intensely for a short period of time to build out a service or product.
Who Should Participate?
Atlanta high school and university students and their families are invited to attend this day-long, idea challenge. We’ll have hardware for you to test and play with - from VR headsets and arduino boards - to coding kits for younger participants. All-ages are welcome to take part.
This is a fun day and we welcome all levels of technical experience (including complete novices).
Team creation is flexible. You can team up with friends if you plan to come with buds or start (or join) a team the day of the event.
What Will be Worked On?
Sports and entertainment are booming in Atlanta. TV networks, Hollywood studios and more created $9.5 billion in state economic impact in 2017, new stadiums are popping up all over town, and our professional sports teams have a fanatic fan base. Bring your ideas into the mix and hack on new ways to improve fan experiences, make arenas more interactive and rethink how we interact with entertainment channels.
