RHoK | Burlington, VT | Next Weekend, June 2-3

Join us for Small Dog Electronics’s very first Burlington, VT Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) event. This event is part of RHoK Global, which hosts simultaneous hackathons all around the world on June 2nd-3rd. Meet like-minded programmers, create new and exciting apps, and win prizes and hack for humanity!

RHoK’s mission is to make the world a better place through a global community of innovation developing practical open technology. In this two-day event you’ll have the opportunity to help find solutions to submitted problems from all over the world. Work with local subject matter experts on problem submissions from within our community, or choose from hundreds of global problems. This is a phenomenal opportunity to find technological solutions to solve local and global issues.

Who’s invited? Whether you program a little or a lot you’re welcome to attend. This can be a great chance to stretch your skills and learn new ones. Community members who feel they can contribute, even if they don’t code, are also welcome.

How does it work? On Saturday morning, after an introduction to some of the local problems, you’ll break up into groups, choose a problem and work together to find a solution. Solutions need to be kept open source and you have the option to continue working on them after the hackathon. Sunday afternoon you’ll have a chance to present your solution to the group and a few lucky groups will go home with some pretty sweet prizes.

  • iPad Tricorder + Happy Birthday Carl!

    Today is our amazing technician Carl Grasso’s birthday. Carl is great guy and an avowed sci fi fan. He has one of the coolest iPad mods I’ve seen. He took a black Verso case and affixed the classic (and classy looking) Star Fleet insignia from Star Trek on the outside. On the inside, he’s running an, er, modified version of the iPad that looks like a Star Trek Tricorder. Images below.

    Happy birthday to Carl! And we have to say it: live long and prosper!
