Looking to make a difference? NASA, Google, Microsoft, The World Bank and Yahoo! are inviting software developers, independent hackers and students to participate in the Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) event on December 4 and 5 in over a dozen locations around the world.
RHoK is a global hack day all about using technology to make the world a better place by building a community of innovation. A RHoK Hackathon event brings together the best and the brightest hackers from around the world, who volunteer their time to solve real-world problems. RHoK collaborates with subject matter experts in disaster risk to develop and define problems, which form the framework of a RHoK hack day—a marathon weekend event of competitive coding, gathering software engineers together to develop software to respond to global challenges and crises.
The RHoK#2 global hack day will take place in locations around the world, including Chicago, Bangalore, Sao Paolo, Nairobi, Aarhus, New York, Berlin, Lusaka, Toronto and Mexico City. RHoK is an opportunity to meet and work with top software developers and experts from around the world, create new applications, and maybe even win some prizes while you are at it.
