The Hackathon

Join us in Los Angeles on September 28th - 29th for Build with Google: Google Workspace and AppSheet! More locations will be announced soon so please keep an eye out for future events in different locations. 

Local retail companies are invited to participate in a 2-day event to learn more about AppSheet and use new features in Google Workspace to create cutting-edge applications and products. On day 1, participants and companies will attend a half-day series of workshops to learn more about AppSheetand form teams (either with other companies or with their own company) to create solutions using AppSheet for their business.

Continuing on day 2, participants will take what they learned from the workshop and build an application to present to the judges by the end of the day. The team/company with the best application will take home the grand prize of $5,000! 

Workshop Sessions & Challenges

On day 1, companies will learn from Google how to use AppSheet and hear some use cases from retail companies on how AppSheet was introduced into their business. Companies and participants will then be able to take what they have learned and immediately start working on their own solution/application to build in AppSheet.

Day 1: Introductions & Workshops

Hear directly from Google and learn how to use AppSheet for your business. Google will take you through a brief workshop that demonstrates the capabilities of AppSheet as well as show some use cases on how AppSheet can improve your business. 

For the rest of day 1, participants will work on their own solution to present at the end of day 2. You may either work in a team comprised of no more than 5 team members, or you may work by yourself if you'd like to! 

Day 2: Build with Google and Win!

Participants and companies will take what they learned from the previous day’s workshops and apply it to develop an application to present to judges by the end of the day. The team/company with the best application will be awarded the grand prize of $5,000!

Participants will be able to choose from 1 of 2 challenges for building their application on day 2. You can either build an application that any retail company would be able to use (Challenge 1), or, you can create an implementation plan and/or prototype for your own company (Challenge 2)
