It's almost time!

It's almost here! The Fueled Hackathon is about to begin! We will be getting started at 11am at 568 Broadway tomorrow.  Below is the full schedule of events and datasets that are available for your use with some ideas for projects that are needed.  Please plan to come with project ideas in mind, and if you're still in need of team members we will have the option to collect those missing pieces at the beginning.  Please plan to hack within one of the four tracks noted in the rules, and be prepared to tell the judges which track applies to your project. Submissions done through the Challenge Post are also very helpful! We hope you enjoy the event!
