FaithTech HACK: Chicago

Join us for 3 days of building innovative tech solutions for some of the most challenging problems facing Chicago. 

We're bringing together the collective skills of Christian technologists, entrepreneurs and anyone else desiring to put their faith and talents to work for the good of the city. We believe that together we can create technologies to address significant issues impacting families, churches, the local community and the world.

The 2018 Chicago Hack builds on the success of the previous FaithTech, Code for the Kingdom, and Indigitous hackathons that have been hosted in over 32 cities and 12 countries. These events have gathered over 4000 technologists and created hundreds of projects with Kingdom impact. Now, it's time to help release the talent and passion of Chicagoland. 

Whether you are a skilled technologist, a marketing professional, a non-profit leader, a project manager or just someone who wants to put their faith into action we need you! We already have ideas for projects aimed at addressing human trafficking and we're looking forward to having you bring the projects and issues you are passionate about to the men and women with skills to help solve them.

FAQs

Q: Do I need to know how to code or be in a tech related field?

A: Absolutely not! We need people with a variety of skills across a number of disciplines. One of the most successful projects to come from a FaithTech Hack utilized the skills of coders, developers and people in marketing and counseling.

Q: Do I need to be there the entire time?

A: Nope! We'll be grateful for as much time and talent as you can spare. At different times throughout the weekend we'll look to have people roll on and roll of projects they're working on to mix up the skill sets. You don't need to be able to stay until 1AM to participate
