Subject: Hackathon Invitation from HackerEarth
To: newhall at cs.swarthmore.edu


Dear Prof. Newhall

I am Sachin Gupta, the founder of HackerEarth (www.hackerearth.com). We
organize hackathons across the globe and work with both Universities and
Corporates in helping them organize their hackathons. We work with
Universities like University of Toronto (
https://www.hackerearth.com/sprints/uofthacks2016/), Rochester University (
https://www.hackerearth.com/sprints/brickhack-ii/description/) and many
more.

This time we have partnered with Grindr and hosting a hackathon with them
https://www.hackerearth.com/sprints/0FeetAway-Hackathon/. The objective of
the hackathon is to use mobile-based geo-location and build applications
that solve real world problems for people in a vicinity. The aim is to use
geo-location to help people get access to healthcare services, discover
local community events or anything that can be discovered in a vicinity.

We would like to invite the students of your University to participate in
the hackathon. It's an online hackathon starting May 6. The teams that
create the most innovative solutions and produce the cleanest code will get
a chance to win prizes of $5000 and also get their applications adopted by
Grindr.

We’re hoping you’ll share this information with your students who can then
build interesting solutions and get a chance to  showcase their coding
skills. You can find more details about the hackathon here -
https://www.hackerearth.com/sprints/0FeetAway-Hackathon/

NOTE: If this isn’t the right way to get this hackathon out to your
students or we need to reach out to someone else in your department, please
let me know.



Thank you,

Sachin Gupta
Co-founder HackerEarth
