What is Iron Sheep?
• The event seeks to mimic the format of
the “Iron Chef” television series by
challenging teams to produce
meaningful analysis and fun, evocative
mash-ups from the same sets of user-
generated, geo-coded data within a
four hour time frame.
• The goal is to provide a semi-structured
environment where participants can
socialize, work and learn in a fun yet
socially meaningful project.
