Code for Oakland 2012: Building our Civic Web- A hackathon
Urban Strategies Council
July 21, 2012
The 2nd annual Code for Oakland: Building Our Civic Web; a month-long series of focused discussions and events that culminate in a one-day hackathon at the Henry J Kaiser Center! Presented by Ask.com and the Code for Oakland Committee, come out and join Oakland's community of civically engaged developers, coders, designers, entrepreneurs and innovators as we re-imagine ways in which collaboration and technology can help shape, grow, and sustain the healthy future of our City.
The focus of this year’s hackathon is on: building apps, hacking public data and building tools to support economic development in Oakland, improve civic engagement, improve digital education and literacy in our residents and provide tools to attract and sustain local business in the town.
Do you have ideas about how technology could help address these issues, but don’t consider yourself a techie? Come to one of these upcoming listening sessions to share your ideas, brainstorm community needs and help shape what is built at the hackathon. We want to hear from small business owners, community activists, teachers, city staff, nonprofit leaders and people from across the city- your ideas may just spark a great new app or tool to make positive change in our city!
