National Day of Civic Hacking – Northwest Project Workday

September 12, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 6:00 pm

A chance to use our tech superpowers to make a difference!

Join us online on September 12th for a convening of our tech-for-good community. It’s a chance to get inspired, imagine a better future, and contribute your talent to projects that need your help.

Open Seattle, Code for PDX, Open Eugene, and DemocracyLab are partnering to create this virtual National Day of Civic Hacking event focused on helping tech-for-good projects make incremental progress toward their long-term goals. Projects will need coders, designers, researchers, project managers, subject matter experts, test users, and just ordinary people. Bring your creativity, your collaborative spirit, and a smile to share.

Check out the projects that have committed to participate on DemocracyLab and feel free to reach out to project leaders now to start preparing for the event.

This hackathon will continue the momentum from our previous twelve events. Check out these stories to get a sense of what to expect.
