Communities Hackathon: Which Theme Won and How YOU Can Participate!

Are you ready….?

We’re happy to share the chosen theme for the Hackathon… with 45% of the votes… is:
Routing (Navigation)!
Thanks to everyone who voted!
This theme is super impactful, we’re glad you chose it and can’t wait to hear ideas around it, from Community members and from Staff!
So now, to the next steps -
Want to participate in the Hackathon?
Great!
Think of an idea related to Routing and read on!

What types of ideas would be a good fit for this Hackathon?

  • Ideas that solve a problem.
  • Ideas that allow drivers a richer and more accurate experience while using Waze.

Remember: A small yet impactful idea has more chances of winning and making it to Production, than a BIG one.

All the information and next steps are in the Hackathon site.
The site will be updated with more resources and information as we move closer to the Hackathon.
