GREENWISE CHALLENGE
At Hack for Sac, Greenwise Joint Venture is presenting a challenge related
to the "Year of Food," as announced by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson at
his State of the City Address.
The Greenwise Challenge:
Build a solution that encourages local residents and visitors to purchase
food grown in the Sacramento region. For example, approaches might deliver
a smartphone app for buying food from local farmers and ranchers, or
perhaps an online game for eating at restaurants using locally sourced
ingredients. All deliciously creative ideas are welcome!
The team who creates the best solution to encourage people to purchase food
grown in the Sacramento area will receive recognition from Greenwise Joint
Venture, the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Office of
Mayor Kevin Johnson.
Engagement from local leaders
Hack for Sac will be joined by Sacramento Councilmember Steve Hansen and
others. Hacker Lab mentors circulate to advise teams on design,
organization, marketing and presentation.
Audience: any specialty, any age
We need programmers, designers, and passionate people from around the
community to provide insight into our region's most pressing challenges.
Arrive with friends or alone--we can match individuals to teams. This is
all about building a better community.
Prizes include gift cards to Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar and de Vere's Irish
Pub. Participants registering in advance will get free lunch from Chipotle
and swag, including a $100 credit for Amazon web services.
