Code for Philly: City as a Service (Project Brainstorm)

The event is free, but RSVP required. Space is limited.

We’re changing the way city government works with tech and data. You can too.

At Code for Philly (https://codeforphilly.org/), you don’t need to be a technologist to be a civic hacker. It takes a team with set of diverse talents, perspectives, and experience to make a civic tech project successful.

We’re coming together to improve basic city services and operations at our signature hackathon Code for Philly: City Operations. This hackathon is a rolling hackathon that will last a month, kicking off with a weekend of brainstorming, project design, and hacking and presenting demos October 25th.

Teams have a month to work on the development, so this weekend is focused on ideation, intentional project design, and identifying work that will have real impact on communities.

This Friday night event is open to all Philadelphians to discuss how technology can improve city operations.

Presented ideas will be posted along the walls and every attendee will be issued a number of "upvote" stickers to affix to their favorite ideas as they mingle around the room. New ideas can be posted by anyone at this time too.

Major thank you to Industrious for hosting us in their space, and Angel and Adrien Productions (https://www.gigmasters.com/wedding-dj/latin-wedding-dj-newyork), the entertainment company that provided the presentation tools (mic, projector, and speakers) to make the presentation possible.
