The White House is hosting a hackathon dedicated to government data. It happens this weekend, and it's just one of the 93 hackathons organized across the U.S. as part of the National Day of Civic Hacking, a.k.a. June 3. During the two-day event, participants will work to build software applications that solve problems proposed by local, state and federal government organizations. The data sets and challenges were provided by 22 government organizations in total, including the White House, NASA, and the Peace Corps.
