#STREAM2018
Atlanta's premier media & entertainment hackathon!
The BeatsNGeeks #STREAM2018 Hackathon is the premier Media, Entertainment, Tech Talent Search Hackathon event!
This is a HBCU Hackathon dedicated to bringing together developers interested in hacking the Media and Entertainment space. African Americans produce and consume a significant amount of media in the US, but they have yet to show the same inroads and success in media ownership and control over distribution of content. As a result, African Americans are inundated with programming that contains false portrayals, inaccurate information, and degrading terminology that is deliberately disrespectful to black people and their culture. This happens in all realms of media. With the tech skills you posses, you have the Power to literally create "real" change! As HBCU students, as developers, as media consumers, and as African Americans with a very important skill-set, you are uniquely qualified to SUCCESSFULLY Hack the largest , and most influential space we know...The Media Industry! We all know it HAS to be done, but all we do is wait for someone else to do it. And more likely than not, that person/company will not be concerned with your cultural sensitivity issues (i.e. BET, RADIO ONE, FOX, etc). This unique event is dedicated to seeking the BEST HBCU Tech Talent! And that talent will be critical in not just Hacking the Media and Entertainment space, but moving a People forward! This event and it's sponsors look for usage of cutting edge technology to: create new distribution methods for digital media on all three screens; develop unique targeted advertising techniques for urban markets; looks for a focus on the merger of media content within interactive social environments for mobile devices and Smart TV's. The BeatsNGeeks #STREAM2018 Media and Entertainment Hackathon will be held: DATE TBD. Why Atlanta? Atlanta is the epicenter of the South, the media capital of the US, a Top 10 destination for start-ups, has a vibrant technology ecosystem, and is ideally placed at the intersection of #STREAM2018! |
