About this Event
Join us for our first ever Southeast USA Hackathon.
Happening simultaneously in Kissimmee, FL and Charlotte NC, we seek to apply our God-given abilities in technology and innovation to see the kingdom of God advance. FaithTech groups from Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Charlotte will participate.
We will be working through the biblically-rooted 4D product design framework (discover, discern, develop, demonstrate) - a uniquely Christian way of building technology - which is a tool that we hope you can take back into your businesses and workplaces. You can read more about this framework in our FaithTech Playbook.
We begin on Friday with worship and prayer, centering ourselves on Jesus and welcoming the Holy Spirit. We then have a time of teaching on redemptive technology in light of the Gospel. Its then time to create using our 4D redemptive design process—discover, discern, develop, and demonstrate. Saturday will work in teams to build demos and concept apps. Sunday we will demonstrate and celebrate what God has done.
Hackathon Focus
Our focus for the weekend will be solutions that local churches can use, including:
- Care & Support Tools
- Community & Relationship Building
