​Attention hackers, builders, and community organizers: This city has many problems, but the fundamentals are truly great. Join us for a civics hackathon to make San Francisco 10x better. ​We're going to spend a weekend bringing tech people and civics people together with the latest technology and AI tools to build the city of the future.

​Bring your best ideas and teammates, or find them at the event. We will provide some snacks and drinks. The focus areas are:

• ​Housing & Infrastructure
• Street Order & Beauty
• Transparency & Efficiency
• Children & Education
• Industry & Commerce

Ideal team members:

– The engineer, who knows computers.

– The policy wonk, who understands how government works.

– The social worker, who has seen the problems up close.

​What can we start in a weekend to make the city 10x better on these dimensions? Let's find out.

• Impact
  Judges will score projects based on their impact. The best projects have a clear goal (what does this do) and a clear audience (who is this for). Special consideration will be given to projects that address one of the Challenge.
• Quality
  The primary quality metric is usability. A rough but functional tool that does one thing well is perfect. Much preferred to a feature-rich demo that doesn't quite work yet.
