Please join Code for Boston for a day of civic hacking at our fifth annual National Day of Civic Hacking event on Sept 23. Taking place on Saturday at the iZotope offices in Cambridge, this year’s event will feature a community-focused hackathon to kick off a new set of Code for Boston projects with our government and community partners. We can't wait to see you all for a couple days of collaboration, problem solving, and civic hacking! Should I come to National Day of Civic Hacking (NDoCH)? Yes! NDoCH is for urbanists, civic hackers, government staff, developers, designers, community organizers, technologists, data scientists, engaged citizens, and anyone with the passion to make their city better. We invite you to join us as we work together to make positive change in our community! What will we be doing at National Day of Civic Hacking? Our goal at NDoCH is to bring together government folks, technologists, and regular citizens to start working on local problems in their communities, facilitated by open data. The Code for Boston team will be working with local government, non-profit, and community partners to help generate project ideas, but we'll also have open pitches as well. At the event, attendees will get to pitch ideas and form teams to work on those ideas. After forming groups, teams will spend the rest of the day developing their idea together. We expect that outputs will take many forms: one team may develop a map-based data visualization, another may create a set of wireframes, and a third may come up with a business plan for a new non-profit or civic startup. After the event, we'll invite all attendees to come to our weekly Code for Boston hack nights to continue working on their projects. We want all the good ideas you can come up with, no matter what the format! I have an idea to work on at National Day of Civic Hacking! Awesome! Tell us about it on this Google Form (instructions included). We'll also have an open pitch session at the event itself. Schedule 9:30 - 10:00 - Doors open.

We are looking for concepts that address emergency response in challenging environments such as disaster sites and  conflict zones.  Concepts should  incorporate functional fabrics as part of a system;  fabrics that have the ability to sense their surroundings; communicate; control temperature  and monitor physiological performance.

Join us on Friday, July 28- Sunday, July 30 in Cambridge for a hackathon unlike others. Each day you’ll work with 100-150 other innovators from the DoD, MIT Innovation Initiative,  AFFOA (Advanced Functional Fabrics of America) and the MIT community to build product prototypes. Beside access to advanced fabric technologies as a hackathon participant you’ll get the opportunity to be mentored by a diverse group of experts: mentors who are experts in the hackathon “challenge” areas, technology mentors and pitch mentors. Winning team(s) to receive up to $15K to further develop their ideas. Registration is now open! Get your ticket today. If you are bringing a team with you to the hackathon, each team member will need to register separately for a ticket.
