Hacking To Innovate

Felipe Micaroni Lalli

Most of the time, hacking isn't the first word you want to hear coupled with technology. At Hackovate, a legion of computer-savvy gurus are using their powers for good.

On Tuesday's Up to Date, we'll talk with Liam Ryan, one of the competitors at Hackovate, who is working to make healthcare information more accessible through technology.

Due to the bad weather, the competition's finale will now take place Feb. 28 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Union Station Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce Board Room . You can also watch it online

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
