So are you ready with that mobile app idea? AT&T Aspire Mobile App Hackathon
You don't have to know how to code as you may have other skills needed for this hackathon. Like presentation skills and drawing skills and the ability to stay awake for hours and hours and hours…

This AT&T Aspire Mobile App Hackathon is an event produced by the AT&T Developer Program in coordination with AT&T Aspire that is designed for attendees (technical & non-technical) to build apps/mobile apps, get fed, compete for prizes across different categories and most importantly: meet new people and scout for teammates to work on new or current projects. Our hackathon will introduce you to the latest cutting edge tools to help deploy your own app with a website backend, fully hosted in the cloud.
We Supply: Quick presentations and code samples that help to bootstrap your hacking, food to keep you going, and caffeine to keep you awake. Along with technical senseis to assist you in building faster, smarter, and with new tools.
You Bring: Your laptop, skills & ideas. Come with a collaborative, team focused mindset and/or team up in advance on Twitter/Facebook/Google+ via the #atthack hashtag.

Every group needs a good balance of talent and your development skills are needed!
