Attention: Geeks, hackers, programmers, engineers .... come one, come all.
On Nov. 19, Baltimore's bustling little tech community will hold the first ever Hackathon, at the Beehive Baltimore space in Canton.
The premise is to encourage teams of people to work over a weekend to build hardware or software, from idea to prototype, in a fun, competitive environment.
The event starts Friday (11/19), 6 p.m. and wraps up Sunday (11/21), 6 p.m. (RSVP and more details here.)
There are prizes:
* Best Software Prototype - Individual ($150)
* Best Software Prototype - Group ($350)
* Best Hardware Prototype - Individual ($150)
* Best Hardware Prototype - Group ($350)
* Audience Favorite ($150)
A source tells me the judges include some luminaries from the Baltimore tech/entrepreneur community, including: Brian LeGette (original co-founder of 180s), Gary Mauler (organizer of Robot Fest), Jen Gunner (interim director of the GBTC), Chris Brandenburg (co-founder of Millennial Media), Mario Armstrong (major tech media dude), and others.
