It's time for Fueled!

The Fueled Hackathon is officially underway at 568 Broadway in SoHo NYC! There is still time to come by if you haven't made your way here yet! On hand are representatives from the White House, ESRI and Mailjet! We also have teams grouping up and getting started on projects.  Some are still looking for teammates so there is the option to help out if you want to come solo or with a friend but don't have a project in mind! Prizes include Chromebooks, cash money, and free coworking time at Fueled! We've pasted the schedule below - hope to see you here!
