Hackathon 2024 | "Civic Hacking: Uniting South Florida Cities"
The Tech Hub Hackathon is a 24-hour event where participants form teams, vet ideas, create a project, and then present their work to an expert panel of judges. Winners walk away with a combination of cash and in-kind prizes!

This year we are supporting out local South Florida cities!
This year's theme is "Civic Hacking: Uniting South Florida Cities." Each project should address issues faced by our local cities/counties/municipalities such as cyber hacking/ransonware, transportation and smart cities initiatives.
We aim to build a potential solution that one (or more) of our local cities can implement to support our very own local communities.
Teams will consist of developers, designers, project managers and entrepreneurs, with successful teams having a mix of these areas of expertise. From newly graduated tech students to senior tech leadership - everyone is invited!
A team may consist of a minimum of two people to maximum 6 people.
Please make sure you have read our "Code of Conduct(opens in a new tab)" and "Official Rules(opens in a new tab)" before purchasing your ticket.
