Louisville has been selected as one of ten cities to receive a Code for America Fellowship. Â The Louisville fellows are looking at ways to improve the criminal justice system. Â This hackathon, however, has a broader goal. Â In a mere 8 hours, create a smartphone app (or prototype) that uses publicly available data to improve the lives of Louisvillians. Â There is prize money involved for winners, so start planning now!
LVL1 is no stranger to hackathons, hosting 24 hour event focused on building cool stuff out of junk, and weaponizing delicious food. Â Good luck everyone, and hack on!
