What we're about

Aha! After 2 amazing years of Brother Hackathon in Los Angeles and Dallas, this year our third annual Brother Hackathon will be held in Seattle, Washington. The Brother Mobile App Hackathon is designed to encourage developers, designers, business professionals, and students to submit mobile apps or prototypes that integrate with a Brother QL Label Printer, or a Brother RuggedJet printer/labeler, or a Brother scanner. Each team will receive a brand new QL-820NWB printer and supplies. A team can have up to 5 people. Individual participants are also welcome. Team can keep the printer as long as the team members participate in the competition. Judged by key influencers within the industry, the Contest seeks to identify talented individuals and teams from across the U.S. The prizes will be awarded to the best entries submitted.

Our two-day hackathon will be jam-packed with fun activities and coding workshops! At the first night of the event, each team will be given a brief introduction. There will be no team formation component at this hackathon. Team can work overnight on Friday but it is optional. On Saturday, teams will complete the apps that are functional. Each team will shoot a 3-minute video, and upload it to Youtube. There will be several panel discussions, including stations to assist participants with coding, design, and video production. These sessions are optional as teams can continue working on their apps. Winners will be announced at 7PM, with award ceremony and a raffle of many great prizes.
