(UPDATED AS OF April 2019)
Previously created for the Devpost "Maps As Art" online hackathon submission
Special thanks to the Hackalist guys for maintaining their API so I can grab their data!

If anyone is interested in joining, please create an issue and post details of what you want to help with and what you're good at - We appreciate all the support we can get!
Current Functionality:
- Shows location of hackathons with ability to be pressed for more details
Current bugs
- Cannot go past Google Maps Geocoding Query limits - currently using a workaround
Future Directions
- More Hackathon locations
- Dynamically update hackathons based on API
- See if travel reimbursements are needed based on current location
