Basketball Hack Day @ BITCON is a one-day coding competition, also known as a hackathon or code fest, where basketball fans and tech enthusiasts come together and create simple basketball related apps, tools, sites, data visualizations, devices, and prototypes. The goal of the day is to bring creative tech minds into one room, and see what they can produce within a limited time.
As an offshoot from our partners at Baseball Hack Day, Basketball Hack Day will debut on Saturday October 12th at the 2019 Annual Blacks in Tech Conference, aslo referred to as BITCON. Taking place on Day 4 at the St. Paul Rivercentre in St. Paul, Minnesota. This event is based on the principal of the original the Hack Day Manifesto and will always be free to attend, thanks to our generous sponsors.
