In Defense of the West

​Everywhere we look the principles of the West are under attack by the petty grasp of would-be tyrants.

​It's not just the borders of free nations, but the individual rights of citizens inside these borders by their own governments.

​So lets build.

​This hackathon has two streams of competition: technologies to help secure the borders of free nations against outside aggressors, with mission profiles in UAV/cUAS systems, radio-frequency comms, and open-source intelligence gathering.

​There is also a new category: technologies that can help protect individuals against unjust authority, with mission categories in Free Speech, Misinformation, and Counter-Surveillance.

​If you can't defend an individual how can you defend a democracy?

​Come join us for a two-day hackathon aboard the legendary USS Hornet, an aircraft carrier that defended the principles of the West against foreign aggression all throughout WW2.

​Overnight accommodations are provided by the USS Hornet - come sleep in the bunks just like a sailor.

Note the event starts 10am on Nov 23rd and continues until 9/10pm on Nov 24th the next day.
