   GREENWISE CHALLENGE                                                   
   At Hack for Sac, Greenwise Joint Venture is presenting a challenge
   related    
   to the "Year of Food," as announced by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson
   at      
   his State of the City Address.                                        

   The Greenwise Challenge:                                              
   Build a solution that encourages local residents and visitors to
   purchase     
   food grown in the Sacramento region. For example, approaches might
   deliver    
   a smartphone app for buying food from local farmers and ranchers, or  
   perhaps an online game for eating at restaurants using locally
   sourced        
   ingredients. All deliciously creative ideas are welcome!              

   The team who creates the best solution to encourage people to
   purchase food   
   grown in the Sacramento area will receive recognition from Greenwise
   Joint    
   Venture, the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Office
   of        
   Mayor Kevin Johnson.                                                  

   Engagement from local leaders                                         
   Hack for Sac will be joined by Sacramento Councilmember Steve Hansen
   and      
   others. Hacker Lab mentors circulate to advise teams on design,       
   organization, marketing and presentation.                             

   Audience: any specialty, any age                                      
   We need programmers, designers, and passionate people from around the 
   community to provide insight into our region's most pressing
   challenges.      
   Arrive with friends or alone--we can match individuals to teams. 
   This is     
   all about building a better community.                                

   Prizes include gift cards to Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar and de Vere's
   Irish     
   Pub. Participants registering in advance will get free lunch from
   Chipotle    
   and swag, including a $100 credit for Amazon web services.            

                               Prizes and Sponsors                       

   Who is Code for Sacramento?

   civic-minded    
   volunteers who contribute their skills toward using the web as a
