NGINX For Good Hackathon
The NGINX for Good Hackathon — in partnership with AWS — is an opportunity to build a website or application to solve a problem in your local or global community. Whether you want to help underprivileged youth, people struggling with homelessness, or impact climate change – there’s no limit to what you can do.
With your team of 2-8 people, you’ll build your solution. Coding time starts 9am Monday morning September 14 and finishes 9am Thursday morning (PST). Once coding time completes, you’ll present your idea and prototype to the NGINX Sprint attendees plus judges from Tech Field Day and NGINX.
Hackathon sign up is now closed. There’s still time to register to see the Hackathon presentations, results, and prize giving.
