Work with the City and SANDAG to improve the way citizens can participate in City decision making! Win CASH prizes, come teamed up or build one onsite.
Apply fresh and creative solutions in the following areas:
Citizen engagement platform for arts, culture, and creative events
The Commission for Arts and culture is interested in developing a citizen engagement platform for crowdsourced and aggregated sharing and compiling of arts, culture and creative events.
Mobility/ Mode Share for LMI communities
What access is there from LMI communities to centers of opportunity: either job clusters or training programs. How can technology and data be used to aid in this goal?
Chatbot integration with San Diego’s “Get It Done” platform
The “Get It Done San Diego” is the City’s official app for reporting non-emergency problems/issues to the City of San Diego workforce. Using natural language, the chatbot could facilitate this process and potentially improve the City’s overall customer service support objective

Requirements
To submit your project for evaluation head to our submission site on Devpost and click the big "Register for this Hackathon" button. Sign up for an account (if you haven't already), then add your project including a description of your concept and solution, and team members. Make sure your description captures the problem you are solving, how your solution addresses it, and what steps you've taken to substatiate the problem and validate your solution. Judging criteria will include the following key areas, so be sure to discuss this:
- Specific uses of data (provided or found)
- Impact to the community
- Implementation feasibility / readiness — do the pieces exist today to execute on your concept
If you have created any IP, please add links to your Git repo or other location where it can be reviewed.
On Sunday, judges will visit teams in a trade show setting — they will come to you. Judges will visit in small groups (2-3 people) over the course of 2 hours (10-12PM). You will present your solution in 5 minutes or less, with additional time available for Q&A. Expect to pitch your concept several times during the juding window. Also make sure your pitch touches on the areas listed above as they will contribute directly to scoring.
