Hack the Dot Seattle: Summer is Dead Edition (8.10)

Galvanize Seattle

A Hack the Dot is a two-hour hackathon where coding school students, junior developers, experienced developers, marketers, designers and curious web people come together to build ideas around a domain name. Our events are meant to be a quick and fun way to build a humorous (and functional) product quickly, while meeting people in your tech/startup community.
There will be pizza.
What to Bring / How to Prepare: 
• Bring your laptop (fully charged). Bring your charger just in case…

WHERE: Galvanize Seattle (111 South Jackson Street, Seattle, WA 98144)
The absurdly awesome domain-driven hackathon is back @ Galvanize Seattle to keep the summer party going!
How does it work?  
Step 1: Attendees are broken up into random teams and assigned spirit animals to guide their efforts.
Step 2: All teams are provided with an undisclosed single premium domain name by name.com, arbitrary and often hilarious. 
The only hint: A mid-summer’s night…. mare? 

Step 3: Team have just two hours to come up with a functioning site inspired by that domain. The team builds the most creative and fun idea for the domain wins.
Participants will be judged on four criteria: (1) functionality, (2) design, (3) humor, and (4) creative domain name interpretation.
What you get at the event? 
FOOD! 
SWAG! 
FRIENDS!
How much does it cost?   
It’s free!
