What is Local Hack Day: Share?

Local Hack Day: Share is a week-long celebration of sharing everything you’ve learned as a hacker. If you’ve been hacking with us all year, we’re excited to have you back. If this is your very first event, we’ve got a ton of beginner-friendly challenges for you to complete that’ll have you shipping your hack like a pro in no time. You’ll have your pick of technical, design, and social challenges to complete - each with an emphasis on sharing your work. The more challenges you conquer, the more points you’ll earn. Tune in each day to check out the leaderboards and share what you’ve built. To start hacking at LHD: Share, register here.

What are these Challenges?

Local Hack Day: Share will run from Sunday, March 28th to Monday, April 5th. During this time, you can expect challenges for all skill levels. We will have plenty of both week-long and daily challenges to keep you busy. Week-long challenges will be accessible for the entire week, so you can hack on them whenever you have free time. Daily challenges are only available for 24 hours after they’re originally posted, so make sure you come back each day to see which challenges you’re going to conquer.

Challenges will range from social challenges urging you to connect with other members of the community, technical challenges that will expand your coding skills, and design challenges to refine your skills as a creator and artist. We cannot wait to see all you learn, build, and share.

Hackathon Sponsors

Prizes

Explore Artificial Intelligence

We see weekend over weekend that hackers are eager to learn more about AI. For this challenge, just explore the topic and see what you can learn. You can watch tutorials, follow guides, or build projects - it’s totally up to you and as long as you learn something about buzzword topics, it counts!

Use a Weather API

Weather APIs are a great way to add a level of automation to your project. Ideas include an alarm clock to tell you the weather in the morning, create an application that picks out your commute based on the weather, or predicts the best days to get outside for a run

Create an Authorization System

As I’m sure you know, keeping your projects safe is extremely important. Incorporate an authorization system into a project - this could for all users or an even just an admin panel. OAuth is a great place to start here.

Create a Kanban Board

Ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of tasks you need to complete? Having your own way to visualize them can help organize your tasks and increase your productivity!

Redesign a physical product you use

Imagine a new branding concept for a brand you use and create it on any platform or medium you’d like!

Use Computer Vision

What if your garbage can could sort your recycling and compost out for you? Build a project that uses computer vision to accomplish a task. Maybe your hack analyzes garbage and sorts it into its respective kind.
