Facebook is bringing together North America's developer and UX community for their first ever Hackathon in Chicago, with support from the Chicago Connectory. Apply to join us as we build innovative software for the future using  Spark AR, Messenger and React/React Native – with some awesome prizes on offer.

Over two days, attendees will be focusing on one or more of the following areas:

• Gaming and entertainment – let’s add some fun into our forward-thinking!
• Productivity and utility – let’s strive to make applications more efficient!
• Social Cohesion – together, let’s build to make our neighborhoods more connected and address issues of loneliness, segregation, and inequity.

There will also be plenty of opportunity to network with fellow developers, and to take advantage of on-site coaching and advice from the Facebook team as you build your skills in emerging technologies.

Important Note:  All applications will be reviewed and participants will be selected and notified on a rolling basis - latest by October 27th
