Tell us who you are, why you did you decide to join?
Judges will read this page before making a final decision, so write your story, make it emotional and impressive. Tell us why you want to win.
Don't reveal too much about your project, this is a competition but maybe you can tell us the technologies, APIs you are going to use and what kind of application you are going to build.
You can change your mind, that's ok. Just push an update here when you do.

Description currently being written
Programming languages (that may be used): - Assembly - C - Lisp - HTML/CSS and JS
The goal of my project is to show how simplicity and composability can be used to create extensible, scalable, flexible, small, and fast software. This corresponds to theme 2 for the hackathon, and there, maybe, will be a game ^^.
720devs
We're the founders of 720developments.com, as you can see in our webpage, we're a couple that is working with web developments together since we're just 21 years old (and dating since we're just 17). 7 years later since we starting on our own, we are still here, doing the same but in more interesting projects, trying to learn as much as we can in our free time, and trying to travel as much as we can with our budget. Also we love to eat, drink good beer (we may start making our own next year) and walk long distances talking about, well, anything, with our 3 little dogs.
What are we going to do?
Theme: Problems facing our planet, explained using interactive data visualization. We will focus in using an API to gather data about different problematics we're (as humanity) facing in this moment. We're going to try to do so in a simpler manner, so everyone can read clearly what's going on.
We choose that because we think that we are in the era of knowledge, because we have tons of data collected, and every year more and more people is accessing to the internet. Having companies focusing on getting objective data to show to the people instead of having just a few organizations deciding what information to show us, is a great step to get to a global agreement of how to manage our resources and efforts to build a better and more equal world.
Also we think about learning tools, because we believe the future of education is in the web, but we prefer the other theme better as we think they're already great tools out there that are doing very good right now.
Why are we participating?
Is the first time in a hackaton together, and the reasons are several, I'll enumerate the most important ones:
- We have a bit more of time this year, and we think is a fun way to spend a weekend.
- We think we're in a good moment as developers to do something great in just 2 days.
- We get surprised by the big amount of APIs out there with awesome information, and is a good excuse to play with them.
- We will love to show our work to the great jury, having some chance to get to talk with some of them, is really the great prize of this competition.
Coming soon...

We have a junior coder and one not junior any more, and one with some experience.The whole team works with JavaScript, and we think we can do amazing things with JavaScript. We never worked all together on the same project, so this is going to be a challenge, but we're looking forward to it.
The team lead is a Node.js developer and Node.js really does great in doing network requests and putting all the stuff together. The rest of the team also has Node.js experience, so we're going to pull in a lot of JavaScript.
The idea is to create a mesh of the existing public APIs and gather publicly available data and create a useful dashboard for displaying and manipulating this data. We want to pull in as much data as we can and then show it in an interesting way
We're a team of developers from Bucharest, Romania and we love to code. We're really excited to be a part of this first Global Hackathon and we're sure we'll have a blast.

I began doing freelance web development in high school, and had become disenchanted with it by the time I reached University. However, after working some co-op positions with some passionate web developers, I gained a appreciation and insight for what the web is capable of.
Now, I'm all about pushing the limits of what the web can do. I like to think I have some creative and innovative ideas to bring to the table, and I'm excited to be taking part in the first ever Global Hackathon. One day, when events like this are commonplace, I'll be able to look back and say that I was there for the beginning!
My passion has always been in interactive media, anything that takes entertainment beyond something to be simply consumed, allowing people to influence and engage with it. I love experimenting with new web technologies to break expectations regarding the limitations of the web. My hope is to combine my passion with these technologies in a result that is both practical and delightful for users.

Hey!
I'm software developer from Russia, Chelyabinsk. Interested in web and game development.
It will be an awesome project created with node and HTML5 stack.
Hello, we are a team mostly from Japan (Tokyo), except for one of us, Fan, that I would like to call "Fan Fan". Our team name is called Gundam because we like ガンダム！Gundam/ガンダム is a Japanese giant robot mecha anime series and is very popular.
Although there is an explosion in the popularity of computer science in the United States and such, computer science and engineering is still looked down upon in Japan. Engineers are looked down upon in Japan. We want to change this mindset. If we win, we want to use this opportunity and make it so that all Japanese people will realize the power and potential of coding, computer science, and hackathons!
Fanさん以外、私たちは日本にいても、Fanさんも日本が好きです！アメリカなどでは情報工学はもっと大人気になるのに、日本ではまだ工学部は人気ではありません。私たちはその考えを変えたい。もし勝てば、この機会で全部の日本人に情報工学とハッカソンの力と可能性を気づかせます。

We are four students of Delhi Technological University, New Delhi, there is no single reason we love coding (but sure there are many :) its makes our work easier, daily problems interesting, make dull and monotonous tasks hell lot of fun), however we enjoy the way we can use it to solve real world problems.
Still brainstorming, probably best ideas always take little time to grow!
Why do we want to join the competition?
- To have fun, gain experience, meet new people and form a great team.
- Reason to participate: Prove that a distributed team can be as productive as a team working in the same room
- Skills: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AngularJS
- Reason to participate: Firstly, I've never participated in any other hackathon, so, here's my change to give it a try. Also, which I consider the most import point, the fact that hackathon is global, pleased me!
- Skills: I've been working with WebApps, Market-Places, E-commerces, One-Page-Application, Webservices and API's in the last years, using mainly Ruby and Javascript as the main languages. So, with a these background, I consider myself a full-stack developer, which, I think, will be handy to the team!
I'd love to use Social APIs, as well as real-time, pub-sub and so on...
- Reason to participate: Learn from others, contribute, fun
- Skills: C++, Javascript, Node.JS, shell scripting. Can contribute as situation demands both front-end and back-end
- Reason to participate: For fun, experience and a good team
- Skills: Web technologies (html, css, JS, NodeJS, php) and programming skills (c, c++, core-java, android), I can contribute as both front-end as well as backend developer.
We are interested to work on #5 or #1 theme.
We are University of Akron students from Akron, OH who are passionate about software development!

I've only been a part of one 3-hour hackathon in the past, and I'd like to start participating in more. I have a long history of work, but I'd like to have a personal portfolio of work outside of the jobs I've held. I also enjoy coding in my spare time, so participating in hackathons just makes sense! :)
I grew up coding games in my spare time and went to college for the same. However, I switched gears in college after taking a web development course, and that's what I've been doing ever since (with some mobile projects in the mix too).
For this project, I'll probably try to mix the two, creating a web-based game. I'm not 100% sure if this is what I'm going to actually do, but it's a pretty good bet!

Team Invincibles
================
About our team
=========================== We are a group of programming enthusiasts very motivated to solve real world problems. All of us are students enrolled in colleges in the United States. We decided to join this competition because of our passion for programming and finding solutions for complex problems. We have prior experience with developing applications making use of real time data to solve everyday problems. Our biggest motivation behind us taking part in this competition is to get a really good feel of some of the API's mentioned in the document. We do not have much experience working with these API's and would relish the opportunity to build something cool by utilizing them
Skills and Project Idea
======================
Still brainstorming ideas
We are Ali and Bobby, a strong developer / designer team. Ali is located in Lahore, Pakistan, while Bobby is in Boston, U.S.
We met during work a few months ago. Due to our complimentary skills and good work chemistry, we decided we'd be the dream team for going into this hackathon together.
Our team has a yin/yang philosophy. Bobby, the yin, does all the design, CSS, and UX work. Ali, the yang, does the backend programming to bring everything together. This works great, as we have skills that compliment each others' weaknesses.
Our name, 'J-Unit', comes from our mutual love of hip hop and unit testing, mixed with the fact that we use Java as our main programming language, for both client and server side.
Our biggest motivation for participating in this hackathon, is so we can have a shot at an interview with some of the awesome VCs who are on the judges' panel. Our dream is to do a startup, and we have an awesome idea that we'd love to pitch.

My name is Mona. I've worked as a software developer using C# and .Net framework. I chose to learn python and RoR to develop open source programs.
It's my first time joining a hackathon. I decided to participate as I need a purpose to develop applications. I need to make sure that my work is really helping other people. It is also a good chance to practice the new tools which I've been learning.
I plan to use a python related web development framework, javascript, html5 and CSS. I'm mostly attracted to themes of games: introducing software development and HTML5 games.
We are NUS Technology team. We are very excited to join this Hackathon and we are going to do our best in this contest. If you are reading this page and you are on another team, be ready to fight to win the prize :)
We are a group of young and passionate Web developers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We are all interested in developing web application using cutting-edge technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Twitter Bootstrap. Our main framework for developing application would be in Ruby on Rails as we have been using it daily for several years.
This contest is a great opportunity for us to test our limits and bring our skills to a new level. We also want to show to the world what we can do to help solve problems we are facing each day. It is all about ideas and how to turn those ideas into reality, and we want to be part of it.
Our skills: HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, jQuery, BackboneJS, AngularJS, Twitter Boostrap, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.
We are thinking of building an application to help the world increase their awareness of issues which our planet is facing today. We could not share more at the moment :).
I am a Web Engineer with experience working with LAMP and MEAN stacks, specialized in front-end web development and web application performance. I am a U.S. citizen living in Venezuela by the moment.

Hey! You've actually visited our page(?). We are pumpedDevs! We're thrilled to be part of the first Global Hackathon, well actually, this is the first hackathon for some of us. :)
Hi, we are pumpedDevs(pumped developers)! We're composed of 4 developers who love to develop apps for mobile and for web.
The team was created months ago (May 2014) before Koding's Global Hackathon. The original members were me(Ron), Bryan, and a friend of mine(Not in the competition). We established this team because of some reasons and our main goal is to start our own. We wanted to build our own start up company. Our problem is, we don't have any idea how; also our time and budget won't allow us. (We have full-time and part time jobs. Long story on why we can't quit in any.)
The time when we discovered the hackathon, we were so excited. But when we saw that there were only 1000(2000 now) slots for the hackathon, the excitement went down since we thought that it was somehow "impossible" for us(me) to be chosen. But I still tried! I told them, "If we will be chosen, I will treat you guys!". So eventually, I treated them at a coffee shop(Starbucks)!
After a while, I asked the other two members to join us in this hackathon, Kenneth, my classmate when I was in college, and Joell who used to be our professor. They both develop for the web and they're really great at it so I thought they'd be perfect for the team and so I invited them. I also had an experience developing with them so I think it's an edge for us.
The team's goal for this competition is to have fun in the hackathon, show what we can do and what we can contribute. We think that this event is a big help for us to reach our goal which is to create our own start up company which can be beneficial for a lot of people. Winning in this competition might be hard and intimidating, but what isn't? We'll give it a shot and do our best!
All of us use the following technologies:
- PHP
- Javascript
- HTML5
All of the themes given are really interesting. We're still thinking which will fit our skills.

I like the idea of the challenge of a hackothon as a psychological space well suited to motivating creativity and productivity. I'm hoping that helps me come up with something interesting and worthwhile outside the scope of my normal work.
I'm interested in both the theme of realtime communication and translation and the theme of problems facing our planet and data visualization.
I'm not entirely sure what I'd like to tackle specifically. Perhaps I'll gather some other devs/designers and come up with a more concrete idea soon.

We are a team of developers from Russia. We are working on their own start-ups, and some of the projects planned as opensource. We have a lot of interesting ideas, but the need to earn money does not allow us to devote much time to their start-ups. On the competition we have learned from the site habrahabr.ru and very interested as an opportunity to talk with other teams, as well as the chance to get funds for the development of our projects. If we win, the prize money will be spent on the development of useful new services and applications.
We not a choose now which of our ideas to put into Hackathon, but as far as technology, the project will be based on Javascript. On the server we use Node.js, client-server communication via web sockets. Other details we will post before Hackaton.
Don't get confused. Our names are similar, but we are two different people. :) We are two guys from Karachi, Pakistan, who are passionate about WWW. Our intros will be added shortly.

We are a team of designers & developers. In short - We are GEEKS from the future!!
We have joined the hackathon to contribute our share to the community. If we win it will not be just for the sake of name & fame BUT so that we can invest it into our further developing ideas. We are small team short on funds & we are desperately looking for some help. We have lot of ideas developing from the last 7 years of working in different streams. But they are still ideas as they never developed into concepts. If we win this, we are definitely going to get moving forward from here. Fingers crossed!!
Vijayinder (a.k.a: VJ): I started my coding journey 7 years back with .net technology. After few years of struggling & going through different technologies, I finally ended up on php. Which lead me learning WordPress as a platform. Since then it has been a great experience of learning from scratch to being an expert in WordPress theme development. I now have knowledge of WordPress Responsive Theme development -> Joomla as a platform -> Magento Theme Development as well. I am working with a great team that I have combined after years of working together & trust. We are taking multiple projects monthly, especially related to development of wordpress themes & portfolios. Apart from that I have also trained myself in Internet Marketing Techniques, as well as I have knowledge of adwords and adroll just to assist clients with their businesses when needed.
Sneha (a.k.a: Mam): Hi there!! My name is Sneha Samfrancisco, I'm graphic designer & web developer working in this field for more than 7 years. Till date I have designed & developed a wide range of websites including: E-commerce websites, Business websites, Landing pages. The web designing & development technologies that I am expert at using include: Photoshop, Illustrator, HTML5/CSS3, Corel Draw X4. Open source platforms that I have expertise includes: WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Prestashop etc. I love working with new challenges. I believe in communication & my belief is that "Communication is the key to a successful Project" So let's start achieving success..!!
Swapnil (a.k.a: Neal): I started my career as an Mech Engineer with ACC Cement limited, where I was selected from campus placement. It was a great experience as I was part of project team for almost 3 years. In all these times, my actual interest remained in designing softwares such as Autocad. After a span of three years I decided to quit job with ACC and I started learning design and development. After 6 months of training from VJ & Sneha, learning the designing & development basics, tools as in Photoshop & Dreamweaver etc, I was all set with the industry standards and started working professionally as a freelancer designer & developer. Pretty soon work started to flow & now I am working on multiple projects for clients overseas. All these years, the experience of handling projects (planning & excuting) from the previous job, always came handy. It's been almost 3 years now working in the IT industry & it's been a really great journey so far. Looking forward to many more :)
We are in a bit of confusion at the current moment, when it comes to deciding what we are planning to create. But definitely we are planning to stick to the theme which will help support a global cause. And which will make things easier for the general public, when it comes to designing & coding. We'll be most probably using WordPress as a platform. As soon as we finalize the API's to be used, we'll update here. Thank you.
I'm a freelance developer, interested in Web development Hackathon – a good incentive to apply my knowledge of different areas in a single project
My goal is not to win, it's a challenge for me – in a short period of time to create a project that will be useful for many people
the most interesting theme for me is "HTML5 educational multiplayer game"
I will use PHP + node.js + iron.io and WebGL + Canvas... may also WebSpeechAPI
Our team consists of a mix of experienced hacker veterans, promising programming rising stars, and artists, all from Tunisia. Some of us know each other since quite a while now (Rafik and Mohamed were classmates since high school), met during work (Rafik , Elyes and Ibtissem are coworkers) or while attending Kendo training (Rafik and Chakib are Kenshis). But all in all, TNTeam is made of only friends, that share a deep love for hacking and love arts.
RafikandMohamedare Back-End Developers and architects. They'll probably will write Clojure and Java.Mohamedis an egg on twitter because he chose to.Ibtissemis an experienced Front-End infrastructure engineer, though also having her word to say on back-end side of things. She knows a couple of things about Clojure, Java, HTML5 and JS.Elyesis a promising Web Developer, experienced in designing and integrating cool web apps.Chakibis the artist of the team. He will create unique AND amazing artwork for our work.
And here's what we all look like:
| Rafik | Mohamed | Ibtissem | Elyes | Chakib |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |

Still thinking about it. But it will surely be somthing special ! Very likely, we'll use some clojure, java, some html5/CSS3 magic... stay tuned !

We decided to join the Hackathon for the opportunity to learn and be a part of a large community. This Hackathon will prove individual skills and ways for us to improve certain areas that we lack. Collaborating with various individuals on similar tasks is a fun and educational way to learn coding as well as building something innovative.
Each one of our team members has strengths and weaknesses in certain areas. Combined we are truly a force to be reckoned with. One opportunity, One Project, and our determination to give it our all!
Thank you for learning a bit about team Iron Squad and CODE ON!

Ethan's experience lies primarily with Java, although he has dabbled in and is learning other languages. He has published two applications: [En Garde'/>, an Android fencing score-keeping app, and HyperTyper, a Chrome extension that helps (cheats) in online typing competitions. He has little experience with the Web outside of static websites, so he is looking to learn a lot with The Washington Redskins.
David is passionate about teaching others how to 'Kode', as demonstrated by his project, Koding 4 Kids. Right now, however, his teaching is on hold until we teach y'all a lesson.
Christian, also known as 'quantum' or 'paralin' is known primarily for D2Moddin, which brought custom game modes to over 174,000 DOTA 2 players. Christian's in-progress projects include two other DOTA projects, WebLeague and DotaReplay, in addition to his VTOL PixHawk autonomous UAV project. Previous projects are listed on his website with links to GitHub repositories.
James is an algorithms expert and is top 50 on the USACO rankings in 2014. James actually invented the subordinate-sequential search algorithm with the help of fellow Koders. James has also created several published games, including Nebulus and Driftlight.
Jake is an esteemed hacker who often goes by the name of '4chan'. He's apparently very infamous. You better not go and tell CNN his real name!
It's quite possible that we are inventing the most revolutionary product ever made! As part of our review of playing field, we have decided to move forward with cloud-based early adopter. Skate to where the puck is going to be. Steve Jobs may [1] have decreed "the iRedskins (formerly The Washington Redksins) is the most revolutionary and magical product Apple has made yet" while tripping on an LCD in India.
Expect us on Kickstarter [2] soon [3]!
[1]: It's not in Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, but it's still possible [4] that he did say it
[2]: See "Go Fund Yourself"'s above link
[3]: See Valve Time or never or soon (tm)
[4]: Literally and totally impossible

I love coding, and it is not just my job, it’s my hobby, business, love, my life. For the short while I have been on this earth. Developing has been a huge part of my life, so much that if I didn’t have development I would be lost. I love to play with it, In my spare time I surf the web to keep in touch with new technologies. I am working with web applications from last 4+ year. I am also a nature lover, and I love more than coding, I try to help to save the nature. I am also master degree student & family responsibilities so I have no much time to physically help them (http://support.wwfindia.org/sos/index.php) but I had decided to donate some part of my salary to them before two months. I also would like to donate 10% of my prize.
I will go with Theme#1 to develop application.
We are two good friends located in Hungary.
We are experienced programmers, mostly we do web developments. We love challenges and complex coding problems.

Koding's instructions for writing ABOUT.md tell you to make it emotional and impressive. I find it more important to make it honest. I'm Frederik Creemers, a Belgian web geek. I'm visually impaired. My optic nerves never fully developed, so glasses don't help. Because of my impairment, I've always needed the help of technology. In high school, at a point where I was supposed to be doing homework, I started toying around in powerpoint. I found out a feature that allowed you to go to a different slide when the mouse hovered over a certain element of the current slide. This gave me the great idea to create mouse mazes, where you had to get your cursor from start to finish without touchhing a wall. This got me more interested in how games were created, and so I downloaded GameMaker, a tool by YoYoGames, that allows you to create games without programming. It does include a language called GML (game maker language), which was my introduction to programming. At school, we learned how to make a website, which introdduced me to the wonders of the web as a platform, and that's what got me to where I currently am.
The reason I'm entering this hackathon, is because I sometimes need a little push to release something. I've got a lot of projects in my 'dev' directory that are hafway there to being something I could release to the world. I'm hoping that this hackathon will push me to create something that I can be proud of.
I'm creating an app that allows people without any coding experience to create their own web application. Some of the things I'll probably use:
- blockly
- github's api
- Google App Engine
- Any other APi I can build in in time that can enhance the applications that users build.
I might change my mind, and build applications using firebase instead of App Engine.
I am an IT enthusiast and Web Developer based in Nairobi Kenya.

I am a student studying computer science at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
I'm a Senior in the Computer Science department at UH Hilo. I first came to Hawaii in search of a fresh start back in December of 2007. I didn't really know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, but I did know I needed a way to make a living. I took a job with a large ornamental plant farm. It was hard work, and the pay was just barely enough to get by. Yet, in spite of all of this, riding around on a tractor all day gave me a great deal of time to think. And as I thought, I realized that I wanted to go back to school.
I enrolled at Hawaii Community College in its Information Technology program back in the Spring of 2009. Going back to school breathed new ambition and new life into my soul, and so I decided to leave the farm and eventually took a job with Upward Bound, a college prep for low income and first generation high schoolers, as a tech instructor for their Summer Academy. They were pleased with the way I interacted with the students, and with my knowledge of computers, and ultimately offered me a position as their IT Specialist.
I graduated from the IT Program in the Spring of 2011 at the top of my class. From there, I made the decision to transfer to UH Hilo's Computer Science Program. The CS Program has taught me a love for programming and problem solving that I never knew I had. I became extremely interested in AI, Machine Learning, Image Processing, and Datamining, and have been supplementing the education I've received with free online courses from Coursera and Udacity. I am also an active member of ACM, and have particpiated in two Intercollegiate Programming Competitions, as well as the NYU Poly Cyber Security Awareness Week Capture the Flag, Google Codejam, and IBM's Master the Mainframe.
My studies keep me very busy, but I do manage to get some downtime in where I like to hit the beach, go diving with my father, play video games, or practice jujitsu. As my education comes to a close, it is unclear if I will be able to remain in this amazing place that has changed my life so much, but winning this competition would certainly be a step in the right direction.
As I mentioned above, my main interests fall along the lines of AI, Image Processing, Machine Learning, and Datamining, so I definitely plan to use my knowledge from at least one of these domains. I may take a whack at the real time communication theme, but being an educator myself, I may go in the direction of creating an interactive activity for first time software developers. API wise, I see a lot of interesting API's on Mashape, and API Tools, so plan on seeing API's from at least one of these sites. Moreover, I'll probably use QUANDL if I find that I need a large dataset unless I find a suitable dataset elsewhere.
