Hi everyone! News Hack is happening this weekend.
The building is the Science and Engineering Library, 744 N Highland Ave, on the University of Arizona campus.
Paid parking is available about one block away in the Cherry Garage, 1641 E Enke Dr.
Sign-in begins at 8 a.m. Saturday. We'll have the coffee and empanadas ready for you. The event will wrap up by 4 p.m. Sunday. You'll want to stay for the whole thing to practice what you learn, to see what other teams have come up with, to take home a tech kit (one per newsroom) and maybe to win a cash prize. See a detailed schedule at http://www.newshackarizona.org/2015/12/23/check-out-the-event-schedule/
We still have a limited number of tickets available, so it's not too late to recruit a coworker or friend to join you.
We will have a Slack group for participants. Watch for an email invitation to join that group.
Got last-minute questions? Reach the organizers at [email protected].
See you Saturday!

News Hack Arizona will take place on the University of Arizona campus on Feb. 18 -19. This year the training will focus on using Raspberry Pi computers and digital sensors to analyze, visualize and report using data you create from one of dozens of available sensors.
