<h2 class="section-header">Overview</h2>
<div class="inner">
<p>For over 2 years now, we've been building tools, creating visualizations, and telling stories about our environment and the science that helps us understand and protect it. EcoHack is our attempt to bring together a diverse community of scientists, hackers, designers and other doers that want to tell those stories with us.</p>
<p>And for the first time ever, EcoHack will be a global event, with simultaneous hackathons in New York City, San Francisco, and Porto Alegre, Brazil.</p>
<h3 class="content-header">What is EcoHack?</h3>
<p>EcoHack is about using technology to improve and better understand our natural environment, creating things that will have an impact, with no restrictions on how you get there.</p>
<p>In the past, EcoHack has hosted everything from creating data visualizations to building kites. We've seen people crack open a scientific database of plant species and we've seen people try build maps to help share news about forest loss. The format is flexible, the outcomes are meaningful, and the weekend is fun!</p>
<h3 class="content-header">Who is this for?</h3>
<p>If you're interested in the environment, technology, or both, EcoHack is for you! Do you have some interesting data to share? Are you a crack web developer, mapping expert, or data visualization guru? EcoHack brings together scientists, technologists, and environmental enthusiasts.</p>
<p>p.s. you don't have to be in science or tech to participate. Seriously! We need your ideas and domain expertise, your feedback, and your sanity checks on what gets built.</p>
<h3 class="content-header">Have a project?</h3>
<p>Want to bring an exciting new project or idea to EcoHack? Make sure it's related to the environment and has clear goals that can be achieved in a single day.</p>
<p><a href="#submit">Submit your project now!</a> We'll select a few projects for ignite talks on Friday night, but you can work on whatever you want on Saturday.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Follow the <a href="https://twitter.com/?category=people#!/search/realtime/%23EcoHack">Twitter discussion</a></p>

<span>SATURDAY. 9:30AM-8PM</span> Hacking with data
</h3>
<p>This is an unconference, which means that after the Ignite talks on Friday we will divide into small groups on Saturday and actually work on solutions.</p>
<p>Bring your laptop, hardware, balloons, and data and be ready to hack. At the end of the day we all come back together to show off our results.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Friday</strong> we will meet for pizza at <strong>6:30PM</strong> with talks starting at <strong>7:15PM</strong>. Afterward, we'll go out for beers, get to know each other, and talk about project plans. <strong>Saturday</strong> we'll start at <strong>9:30AM</strong> and finish around <strong>8:30PM</strong> - just in time for more beers nearby. Food and drinks will be provided.</p>
