Taking place at the innovation hub of Regina, QUEEN CITY <hack> is all about building real tools that can help local non-profits do more with what they have and make an even bigger impact on the community around them.

Join local developers, designers, entrepreneurs, community organizers and others passionate about improving our community for a 24-hour tech event. We will work together to build projects, apps, and websites using publicly-released data, technology, and design processes to improve our communities and the organizations that serve them.

Happening on September 29th, 2017, QUEEN CITY <hack> is open to coders, entrepreneurs, designers, and Regina tech enthusiasts. Teams will have twenty-four hours to “hack fur friends” and solve challenges for our non-profit partner, CC RezQs.

• Technical Innovation (50%)
  Does the application have either a board horizontal prototype demonstrating lots of functionality at high level or deep vertical prototype with deep functionality in one area? How difficult is the technical challenge? Is this solution only theoretical?
• Impact (40%)
  Does it solve the problem presented by the organization? Would people use this product? Does it address a real world need?
• Marketplace Deliverability (10%)
  How polished is the presentation? How much more would the organization need to invest to launch? Does the application have a broader impact with other organizations?
