Café Nights @ District Hall: How to Plan a Social Impact Hackathon

Join Code for Boston to learn how to plan a social impact hackathon at our June Café Night! Part of the national Code for America Brigade network, Code for Boston is a volunteer group of developers, designers, data geeks, and citizen activists who use creative technology to solve civic and social problems. Each year, they run multiple social impact hackathons (plus dozens of weekly hack nights) to find problems in their communities and work towards sustainable solutions. Learn how to plan a social impact hackathon for your own community – including why hackathons can be an effective method for social change, which community problems are a good fit for a hackathon, tips on publicizing and attracting an engaged audience, managing event logistics (especially on a limited budget), and how to work towards solutions that are “with, not for”!”For more info, please visit the event website!
