What's a Hack Night?

Hack nights are unstructured and designed to focus on working. Many project teams coordinate their attendance in advance. Please be considerate if you see a group in deep conversation. This might be the only time this month that they gather in-person!

Schedule:

6:00pm - Doors open. Grab a spot and hack away!

6:30pm - Informational session on Code for Philly projects

8:30pm - Commit and quit

--------

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• What do I need to know before showing up?

Don’t forget your computer! Code for Philly does not provide any devices, so if you need your computer to work, be sure to bring it with you.

• Who is this event for?

Everyone!

If you're active on a project, you can use this time to get work done.

If you're new, we'll be holding a session to help you get to know the group and identify ways you can help.

• Do I need to be a coder?

Nope! Diversity of backgrounds and skills is critical to each project's success. Healthy civic tech projects have developers, designers, community partners, project managers/owners, and more.

If you’re an experienced professional, we welcome you to contribute your expertise -- whatever it looks like. Let's chat about how you want to contribute.

As with all our events, we require attendees to follow our Code of Conduct (https://codeforphilly.org/pages/code_of_conduct/).
