The\u00a0<a title=\"PHA Innovation Challenge\" href=\"http:\/\/govfresh.com\/tag\/pha-innovation-challenge\/\">PHA Innovation Challenge<\/a>\u00a0offers a unique opportunity to realize the event\u2019s mission of creating bold, tangible and actionable solutions using the most powerful tool available \u2013 technology. This year,\u00a0<a title=\"Partnership for a Healthier America\" href=\"http:\/\/govfresh.com\/tag\/partnership-for-a-healthier-america\/\">Partnership for a Healthier America<\/a>\u00a0(PHA) is working with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/feastongood.com\/2013\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Feast<\/a>\u00a0to engage the most talented innovators and makers in technology and\u00a0<a title=\"design\" href=\"http:\/\/govfresh.com\/category\/topics\/design\/\">design<\/a>\u00a0to help solve the childhood obesity epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>PHA is hosting a hackathon in the lead-up to the conference, when participants will prototype and build working solutions focused on the theme of Childhood Obesity. The hackathon will explore two opportunities within the challenge of Childhood Obesity:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To help teachers empower students to make healthy choices about the food they consume, whether at home or at school.<\/li>\n<li>To create an information avenue that shows families the healthy food options and physical activity opportunities available locally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>PHA and The Feast are recruiting a group of the best designers, developers, stakeholders and entrepreneurs to create solutions that will help make the healthy choice the easy choice. Over two dedicated workdays the weekend prior to the Summit, participants will form teams to work on one of the two opportunities. Participants will receive support from subject matter experts and mentors in crafting their solutions while partaking in exciting activities and enjoying healthy meals. The following week, all the participating hackers will receive free admission and full access to PHA\u2019s Building a Healthier Future Summit, with the opportunity to engage with innovators in the health sector. Two winning teams will then take the stage at Summit to present their work to an audience of 1,000 industry leaders, with one team winning an audience choice award.<\/p>\n<p>PHA believes that change happens when anyone is empowered to re-imagine how something might be better and seizes the opportunity to realize that vision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Details<\/h3>\n<dl>\n<dt>Start:<\/dt>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>End:<\/dt>\n<dd><abbr title=\"2014-03-09\">March 9, 2014 5:00 pm<\/abbr><\/dd>\n<dt>Event Category:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/govfresh.com\/events\/category\/hackathon\/\" rel=\"tag\">Hackathon<\/a><\/dd>\n<dt>Event Tags:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/govfresh.com\/tag\/partnership-for-a-healthier-america\/\" rel=\"tag\">Partnership for a Healthier America<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/govfresh.com\/tag\/pha-innovation-challenge\/\" rel=\"tag\">PHA Innovation Challenge<\/a><\/dd>\n<dt>Website:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/ahealthieramerica.org\/summit\/innovation\/\" target=\"self\">http:\/\/ahealthieramerica.org\/summit\/innovation\/<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Organizer<\/h3>\n<dl>\n<dd>Partnership for a Healthier America<\/dd>\n<dt>Website:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/ahealthieramerica.org\/\" target=\"self\">http:\/\/ahealthieramerica.org<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Venue<\/h3>\n<dl>\n<dd>Partnership for a Healthier America<\/dd>\n<dd>\n<address>2001 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Suite 900,Washington, DC,\u00a020006\u00a0United States<\/address>\n<p><a title=\"Click to view a Google Map\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=2001+Pennsylvania+Ave.+NW+Suite+900+Washington%2C+DC+20006+United+States\" target=\"_blank\">+ Google Map<\/a><\/dd>\n<dt>Website:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/http\/\/ahealthieramerica.org\/\" target=\"self\">http:\/\/http:\/\/ahealthieramerica.org\/<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicholas Gruen put me on to this effort&#8230; so impressed to see these efforts emerge in such a can do endeavour and with the first lady giving the welcoming address. http:\/\/govfresh.com\/event\/partnership-healthier-america-innovation-challenge\/ Partnership for a Healthier America Innovation Challenge Event Navigation TransparencyCamp 2014 \u00bb A gathering of business, government and non-profit visionaries, the Building a Healthier &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/?p=1498\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Partnership for a Healthier America Innovation Challenge<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,5,8,10,13,22,6,4,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cool","category-data-saving-lives","category-entrepreneurship","category-healthy-habits","category-nutrition","category-policy","category-politics","category-quantified-self","category-rapid-learning-health-systems"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1498"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1498\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1500,"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1498\/revisions\/1500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.panicola.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
