Data Day Grind 2.0

Data Day Grind 2.0 background
Data surrounds and empowers things around us every day. You probably use data in your day-to-day grind all the time without realizing it. Join us for Data Day Grind 2.0 to take a closer look at the data that surrounds you and build something awesome at our data-analytics-themed hackathon. Learn new skills and explore new technologies this weekend with us! While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. As always, build whatever you'd like! Happy hacking! ##### Special Thanks to Addepar! Be sure to submit to Addepar's sponsored prize category this weekend; The Best Financial Data Hack!
