SOME OF THE CHALLENGES FROM PREVIOUS CODE FOR THE KINGDOM HACKATHONS INCLUDE:
HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY...

• bring the word of God to the first generation of children who are growing up with mobile devices?
 • help cut and/or combat the effects of fatherlessness in a child’s life, in turn strengthening families, reducing poverty and crime?
 • foster a culture of generosity towards each other?
• identify, promote, test, collaborate, augment, and fill the gaps of ministry programs around the city?
• disrupt human trafficking?
