Angelhack Bolzano Spring 2014
This Spring, AngelHack will introduce the "Whole Developer" concept in their new hackathon series, taking place in 30 cities around the world. The hackathon competition, the world's largest, is expected to attract over 5,000 developers this spring who will work on over 1,500 projects for cash prizes and mentorship opportunities.
On 10th and 11th May, the "Whole Developer" is coming to Bolzano to focus on developing soft skills for developers, designers and entrepreneurs, guiding them towards better overall business acumen and an improved lifestyle. To this end, the event will feature experts on emotional intelligence and well-being as well as yoga and mindfulness instructors,
"The Whole Developer is a hacker that masters their technical and emotional intelligence, focuses on establishing a well-rounded lifestyle and strives for growth," said Sabeen Ali, AngelHack's CEO. "As innovators, we have the ability and responsibility to teach the industry, our employers and our predecessors better, healthier working habits and more well-rounded lifestyles."
Besides earning thousands of dollars in cash prizes, winning teams will get the opportunity to participate in AngelHack's summer HACKcelerator program, a 12 week mentorship program designed to help top teams explore and refine their ideas to ultimately decide if they want to become a startup. Teams will pitch their ideas to investors to get seed funding at the end of the program.
Hackathons, marathon programming sessions where teams of developers work for 24 straight hours to conceptualize, design and develop solutions, are AngelHack's main vehicle for spreading technology and creating opportunities for developers around the world.
AngelHack's Spring hackathon series is sponsored by Digital Realty, Dolby, Nokia and Microsoft.
