Join Code for Boston for a day full of civic hacking, project demos, and great discussion as we look to push beyond transparency and kick off our 2014 event schedule.
At CodeAcross, we'll be looking to introduce new members of the Boston community to civic technology and open data, show off the projects that we (and other local civic technologists) have been building, and address civic problems in the Metro Boston area through code and conversation.
In the morning, we'll have a brief information session about our local Brigade as well as the national Code for America (http://www.codeforamerica.org) organization, followed by a series of project demos.
In the afternoon, we'll be providing two activity tracks for CodeAcross participants: a hack track and a talk track.
The talk track is geared towards civic activists, researchers, academics, government folks, and other non-coders who want to learn more about open data and civic technology, and how it can have a positive impact on their local communities, organizations, or municipalities. Although we have several topics we'd like to discuss, participants are encouraged to suggest their own topics for each session.
