Friday Night Hack is an all night Hackathon which will run simultaneously in Tel Aviv and San Francisco. We welcome everyone with a passion for coding and open source who would like to make a difference. We also welcome UX/UI designers who think boldly and creatively. We will be dividing into two channels. In the first channel, we will work on an application that promotes government transparency in Israel. More specifically, this project aims to give Israelis basic information about government spending in their municipalities.
In the second channel, we will work on a few applications that will address challenges, engage young Jewish adults, and contribute to Jewish communities around the globe. For example, one proposed application would help pre-college students select roommates with a shared Jewish heritage, and other shared values or interests. Bring that idea with you to the hackathon. Even better, bring along anything you can prepare ahead of time (sketches, designs, webpage mockups, etc.) and use the time and information provided to develop your idea into a working application. No. The Hackathon is fully funded by the Schusterman Foundation. San Francisco hackers will work at Parisoma at 169 11th Street. Tel Aviv hackers will work at the Google offices at 98 Yigal Alon.
