The goal of ycitesee Hackathon and Design Jam Day is to explore and build the next generation of travel applications. It's a full day of hacking in which participants will conceptualize, create and present their hacks at the close of the day. (Well will ensure you are comfortable, enjoy good food and leave with a swag bag. We are supporting Kumasi Children's Home & Orphanage, Ghana. More about that on the day. Please feel free to make a donation on the day.) We will be using the Pearson Eye Witness Guides travel API with access to points of interest, travel and activity data for 9 popular city destinations. Be inspired by the data to create awesome travel products! Anything goes as long as it's travel related.
