New Orleans Nerd Super Bowl

Come all ye hackers, writers, reporters and friends. We're going to crack open some data and see what we can make of it: apps, maps, articles, essays, tools... All ideas are welcome.

A hackathon (https://medium.com/hackathons-anonymous/wtf-is-a-hackathon-92668579601#.mzdg7ocoe) is a free event for people to hack away at whatever they're interested in, to benefit the people of New Orleans. That could mean making a map of recycling locations, for instance, or cleaning up data on rent prices.

Some topics we'll tackle at this hackathon will include, but not be limited to:

• Recycling

• Rent prices / property values

• Transit

• Crime

• 211 and 311 calls

We'll be at the offices of The Lens (http://thelensnola.org), a New Orleans-based news website. We may arrange a carpool, so comment below if you'd like a ride.
