CodeDay Miami Kicks Off

Starting at noon and running for a full 24 hours, CodeDay Miami has begun...allegedly. RefreshMiami descibes the event as "CodeDay is a 24-hour event where students passionate about technology get together and build cool things together! You pitch ideas, form teams, and build a cool app or game over 24 hours! The event is open to all currently enrolled students. Usually, most of the attendees are in high school and college. Middle school students that can behave independently are allowed." That all sounds great but when i click on the actual CodeDay Miami site I am met with the following message: "Whoops, looks like something went wrong." Undeterred, I clicked on their Eventbrite link and was met with: "This Event is Currently Unavailable." The procrastinator I am truly hopes that this event is full and if I want to take part next year I better move before the day of the event. The skeptic I am hopes that this event wasn't cancelled, Miami has a chance to separate itself from the rest of the technology pack and it needs more events like CodeDay to show Miami belongs not only with the pack but ahead of it.
