List of hackathons in Worcester, United States in 2019

Bentley students - join us for a Hackathon April 6 - 7 at Bentley University, working on innovation in the homelessness space!

Please join Code for Boston for a day of civic hacking at our 2019 Hacakthon event on April 6th and 7th. Taking place on Saturday at the Jobcase 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 the Hackathon? Yes! This hackathon 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 the Hackathon? Our goal 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. At the event, attendees will 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!

The 20th Annual Social Enterprise Conference (SECON) at Harvard will bring together top leaders, practitioners and students on March 2-3, 2019 to engage in dialogue, debate, and expression around Social Enterprise. Our mission is to educate participants about the potential of Social Enterprise in solving the world’s most pressing problems and to inspire meaningful discussion around the key challenges within the field. This year, SECON seeks to address the following: Unlikely Allies: Forging Partnerships for Progress.  The theme seeks to highlight the recent industry trends toward corporate social responsibility of for-profit entities, sustainability of non-profit organizations, and powerful, albeit unusual, partnerships that have formed in an effort to create long-term social impact.  The conference hopes to challenge conference attendees to think about what it means to truly create positive social impact and whether we are truly working to create a better society.   SECON gathers attendees from across the private, public, social, and academic sectors for two days of education and networking. Through a variety of programming, from hackathons to design workshops, SECON provides a unique forum to engage participants. Throughout its history, SECON has been highly recognized and was ranked by Forbes Magazine, alongside international events like the World Economic Forum at Davos and the Clinton Global Initiative, as one of the Top 12 Executive Gatherings in the World. Stay tuned for more information. This year’s opening Keynote is Anand Giridharadas, author of Winners Take All, and the conference will also host speakers and panelists from Vulcan, Woods Hole Research Center, The World Future Society, The Energy Project, Venture for America, Bain Double Impact, and more.  More information on speakers and the agenda can be found at www.socialenterpriseconference.com.
