Hack for the Future

Calling all NA/EU Hackers! We are going to time travel to year 2150 and create hacks that are from the future. From hacks that resolve traffic jams in the outer space to ones that help us slide on Saturn's rings, unleash your creative side this weekend! Whether you build something on the theme or not, focus on having fun. While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. Please build whatever you'd like! If you're from the APAC region, we'd love for you to join another one of our amazing hackathons which are more time-friendly for your region: [Hack-ccelerate](https://organize.mlh.io/participants/events/9001-hack-ccelerate) Happy hacking, folks!
