Volunteers from the tech industry collaborate with social entrepreneurs to help solve challenges facing society.
Over 48 hours our volunteer hackers, technologists, designers, and creative thinkers co-develop solutions to help solve challenges facing society.
Challenges and solutions range from:
* A prototype of a piece of software or app
* Redesign part of a website to better meet the needs of volunteers/specific audience
* Design a marketing campaign for a specific event
* Write content or business cases for a new idea relating to tech.
* Generate ideas to solve a problem you think digital can help with.
