RevolutionUC is a student hackathon in which we invite students from across the midwest to partake in a weekend of code, community, and self-improvement. You don't have to attend the University of Cincinnati and you don't have to be a computer science major or engineering student. We're looking for people who share our passion to do awesome things with technology.

RevolutionUC is open to all college and high school students 16 or older. Before any hacking begins we require you to sign a waiver, which will be emailed to all registered participants prior to the hackathon. If you are under 18 you will need a parent or legal guardian to sign the waiver.

Best Data Collection Hack (CincyTech)
Data exists all over the internet. CincyTech would like you to develop a tool that can collect non-standard data from over the internet and compile it into a usable form for data scientists to use and implement.
One of the use cases is high school standards. The standard that the government provides is different for every state. And for each state, it's not easily accessible and is in very varied format. So come up with a tool that can compile information from various sources and put it in a useful format. (Like a CSV). Prize: TBD
