The Stamford iCenter has created the agenda for the Hackathon that will focus on Smart City Challenges. According to Hugh Seaton of the iCenter, “We'll have Smart Cities Challenges featuring a fantastic array of Application Program Interfaces, Data, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality challenges and some great gear to work with. Come support your tech community, join us for this weekend and be the first to win the Bridgeport Hackathon!” 

This event is part of the Northeast Hackathon Series, so participants will get to see how hackers at the Stamford Hackathon did, and their ideas will be presented to future Hackathons in New Haven, New London and Providence.
