<p>Can you help #hackCambridge to tackle the city’s challenges?</p>

<p>Cambridge’s brainpower is being challenged to take part in a 24hr Hackathon to find ways of using technology to tackle the pressures facing the city as it grows.</p>

<p>Plans for over 33,000 houses to be built over the next 15 years will see an additional 50,000 people move into Cambridge and the surrounding area presenting an unprecedented challenge for the city.</p>

<p>Teams of hackers will work through the night using their tech skills and the city’s data to develop new ways to address the challenges to mobility, environment, heath and social care. The next morning they’ll pitch their ideas to a panel of experts who will award prizes for the best solutions.</p>

<p>The hackathon is part of #hackCambridge - a day of talks, workshops and activities being held at The Junction, Cambridge from 12 noon on Saturday 31 October to explore how technology and creative thinking can help to improve city life.</p>

<p>And it’s not just for techies – local residents can get involved through a workshop for non-techies, meet their mobile phone Data Shadow commissioned by Collusion and developed by multi-media artist Mark Farid, see Cambridge built in Minecraft and short films about the city’s inventors.</p>

<p>您能协助#hackCambridge应对城市面临的挑战吗？</p>

<p>剑桥的智慧力量正接受挑战，参与一场为期24小时的Hackathon，以探索利用技术手段解决城市在发展中面临的各种压力的方法。</p>

<p>在未来15年内，计划建设超过33,000套住宅，预计将有50,000人迁入剑桥及其周边地区，这对城市构成了前所未有的挑战。</p>

<p>黑客团队将通宵达旦地运用他们的技术技能和城市数据，开发新的方法来应对交通、环境、健康和社会护理等方面的挑战。第二天，他们将向一组专家展示他们的想法，专家将为最佳解决方案颁发奖项。</p>

<p>这场Hackathon是#hackCambridge活动的一部分，该活动于10月31日星期六中午12点在剑桥的The Junction举行，旨在探讨如何通过技术与创造性思维来改善城市生活。</p>

<p>此次活动不仅面向技术专家，当地居民也可以通过为非技术人员举办的研讨会参与其中，与由Collusion委托、多媒体艺术家Mark Farid开发的移动设备数据阴影会面，在Minecraft中看到剑桥城的重建，以及关于城市发明家的短片。</p>
