Last weekend saw the third installment of the yearlong MARTA Hackathon series, this time focusing on Rider Experience Design.

Do you love Atlanta? Want to make MARTA better? Septemeber's hackathon is your last chance to join hundreds of civic-minded Atlantans who have worked to improve MARTA this year.

It all started when folks at Abbott and Kemira approached each other to hold a fun joint event to celebrate life at Technology Enterprise Park.

This month's episode of Hump Day Exchange focuses on the expanding fields of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality. Listen to find out how far current technology has already taken us, where the biggest need for development in the industry is, and what ethical questions might arise in the future. 

Ever wonder if AI has the potential to take over the world? When everyone will have self-driving cars? And how the relationship between humans and technology will continue to change with developing AI? Listen to this episode of the monthly Hump Day Exchange podcast to find out. 

This collaboration between Sandbox ATL and ATDC offered the Tech Square twist on work hard, play hard — and it went off without a glitch.

In this month's podcast episode, we consider questions like: How much does it cost exactly to build a cellular network underground? Can sensors really improve the grim state of Atlanta traffic? What do we mean by “intelligent transportation”? And perhaps the greatest mystery of all: is “smart city” the new “cloud”?

Starting last fall, MARTA has found many willing helpers in the Atlanta technology community. Teaming up with Sandbox ATL, Code for Atlanta, Hack GT and other community groups, MARTA launched a yearlong strategic technology initiative to create the next great thing in Atlanta transit. 

Do you love Atlanta? Want to help make MARTA better? The MARTA Hackathon series is a yearlong strategic technology initiative led by MARTA, Sandbox ATL, Code for Atlanta, HackGT, and other community groups to help create the next great thing in Atlanta transit. It kicks off October 28-29 in Tech Square with a 24-hour hackathon to create new ideas to increase ridership and improve the rider experience.
