We'll provide the food, refreshments and hacking spaces for you—the hackers—to do your magic. Just bring your ideas and your passion to hack for a better community!
If you are passionate about helping your community and leverage technology to improve the way our community, society, and government function you've found the right place!. Projects that fall into this track often aim to unite different walks of society and enable users to take civic responsibility into their own hands. For example, tackle issues like preventing a school shooting, voter turnout or develop tools to aid grassroots campaigns. Join your fellow teen designers, coders, students and more! This Hackathon is focused on civic tech and making community services better. We hack/build and learn together during this one day Hackathon.
