Hackers will have 2 weeks following the in person event to submit their project. Anyone can participate in this hackathon regardless of location, but the scope of their project should benefit local Atlanta communnities.
Koii is a decentralized network of nodes. Your first point of reference should be the docs. Hackers can interact with these nodes via the task node test enviornent. Koii also has attention mining properties which allow users to mine and earn koii via any online published content with a few lines of code. There is a useful suite of dev tools for interacting with decentralized storage. Lastly Koii has UI templates for builidng out a decentralized app front end and fully functional boilerpates for a crowdfunding and leaderboard app.
Hackers should aim to build projects utilizing the task node or the attention mining properties of Koii.
Prereqs:
Hackers should understand decentralized computing and javascript basics conceptually. Below are some resources to get up to speed on building with Koii:

The hackathon will kickoff in person from Dec 3rd 9 am - 8 pm to Dec 4th 8am - 4 pm.

Examples of projects that we'd like to see are included below:
Free the Data Use Koii nodes to query a common data source (API, Website, etc) Store that data on IPFS (using the built-in Web3.Storage Integration) Provide an interesting index of the data that users might find valuable
Level the Playing Field Similar to (1), but try to focus on areas where information is less available, or certain communities are underserved by the current internet infrastructure.
Design a Content Collective Similar to (1), but nodes receive a share of rewards based on the attention their contributions generate More info on Content Collectives: Content Collectives Blog Post and Whitepaper
No Longer Will The Winners Write History (Free Speech) Use IPFS and Koii to preserve knowledge or information about current affairs, ensuring that many perspectives are available when history is reviewed by future generations
Projects will be evaluated on the following equally weighted criteria.
What public value does your project provide to local communities? Does it have utility beyond web3 or even traditional tech?
How well does this project utilize or develelop the Koii ecosystem?
