Female Hackathon

Hack is not only about hack into computer system, there's also some other meaning on hack.For example, it can be create some apps etc. ESPN has held a public hackathon whereby to brought all the female hackers and college athletes together to create apps combining sports and tech. For my own opinion, having this kind of hackathon is actually a good way to make every hacker can communicate to each other and know more details about different way og hacking of different idea. One of the winning hacks are "management platform" for sport leagues named "the pack is here". It uses Google calender, Twilio and Twitter to monitor league communication, schedule practices and games, and communicate with multiple teams. It gets supported by one of the team members Margaret Morris's friends by tweeting to the hashtag #espnwderby.
I like the way Espn using hacking to introduce their own channel by organized some of this kind of "Hack" event. With this, hacker can become a more useful person by help those channel or company to make some apps etc.
