Social Impact Tech Hackathon + Happy Hour

AnnieCannons is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to training survivors of human trafficking in coding and other in-demand technology skills. We source client development projects to help students earn without fear of extant barriers, so we can all work toward a world where no one with the insight or potential to innovate is denied the opportunity on the basis of her race, gender, or previous condition of servitude.

Come Build Stuff to Make the World Better

Microsoft Reactor

AnnieCannons welcomes developers, designers, and product managers to join us for a power Sunday of rapid prototyping. Participants will join one of 7 teams, each for an impact technology designed by the survivors in the AnnieCannons program (see anniecannons.org for details). Examples include an app to help identify emotional abuse before it become physical, a game to help kids of colors build imaginary heroes that they see themselves in, and a platform to eliminate the influence of money in politics by giving voters simple, non-partisan data about which candidates most support their individual ideals.Starting at 10AM, we'll give a 30 minute overview of the available projects and allow participants to join teams. We'll hack until 4:00 PM, with lunch in the middle, and then begin Happy Hour hacking with our friends at Great Women Spirits, including speciality cocktails inspired historic heroines like Ada Lovelace.SUNDAY NOV. 10TH AGENDA9:00AM-9:30 Registration and Networking9:30AM-10:00 Agenda Overview + Training Session (Part 1)10:00AM-10:30 Project Overview and Selection10:30AM-12:00 Design sprint (Part 1)12:00PM-1:00 Lunch1:00PM-3:30 Hacking sprint (Part 2)3:15PM-3:30 Refreshment Break3:30PM-4:15 Hacking sprint (Part 3)4:15PM-4:30 Team Progress Briefings4:30PM-5:30 Happy Hour
