Ideathon Prompt & Kickoff!
Hello hackers!
Steel City Hacks has officially begun! Submissions will now be accepted for both the ideathon and hackathon competition pools.
Ideathon participants can view our prompt below:
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many things about how we communicate, creating new demand for software that provides better experiences for online socialization. Devise a pitch for an imaginary piece of software centered around letting users “meet new people,” whether within specific interest fields, locations, some other subcategory, or just generally.
As a general set of pointers, some aspects of communication software that you may wish to focus on in your pitch are:
- Security: how can users feel safe about their data and experiences using your software?
- Convenience: when and where can users use your software?
- Utility: how is this software useful to users?
- Creative self-expression: how do users communicate using your software?
As a reminder, goodies, our optional event schedule, and other hackathon resources are available on our Resources page, technicalities are on our Rules page, and submission requirements and judging criteria are on our main page.
We're always available for support on our Discord, Discussion Forum, or via emailing hackathons@steelcitycodes.org.
Good luck, and happy hacking!
