iHackathon 4 Charity

Use your talents for good to help build an army of kick ass iPhone and iPad applications! Attendees (aka hackers) will split into teams, each team deciding what to build. What kind of iPhone and iPad apps? Whatever you want, as long as the apps are awesome!

We need software developers, graphic designers, social media gurus, marketing experts, and ninjas.

The profits from each application will be donated to local charities. Building one app means funding for one deserving charity. Building two apps means funding for two charities, so the more apps we build the more charities that benefit. It’s also a great way to harness your ninja skills for good, share knowledge with other developers and have a lot of fun in the process. Anyone can attend, so please tell your friends and help spread the word!
