Join us in Kitchener Waterloo for 24 hours of building innovative tech solutions to local and global problems. We're bringing together the collective skills of Christian technologists, entrepreneurs and anyone else desiring to put their faith and talents to work for the cause of God's Kingdom. We believe that together we can create technologies to address significant issues impacting families, churches, the local community and the world. The 2019 Hackathon builds on the success of the previous FaithTech and Indigitous hackathons that have been hosted in over 32 cities and 12 countries. These events have gathered over 4000 technologists and created hundreds of projects with Kingdom impact. Now, it's time to help release the talent and passion of KW! Whether you are a skilled technologist, a marketing professional, a non-profit leader, a project manager or just someone who wants to put their faith into action we need you! We're linking up with some great partner agencies who will be pitching problems to us and we're looking forward to having you bring the projects and issues you are passionate about to the men and women with skills to help solve them. Schedule: Friday, 7 PM - through the night! Dinner, Introductions, Challenges, Pitches, Team formation, and Hacking Saturday, 12AM - 8 PM Hacking, Speakers, Food, Presentations and Prizes (yes, PRIZES!!!) FAQs Q: Do I need to know how to code or be in a tech related field? A: Absolutely not! We need people with a variety of skills across a number of disciplines. One of the most successful projects to come from a FaithTech Hack utilised the skills of coders, developers and people in marketing and counselling. Q: Do I need to be there the entire time? A: Nope! We'll be grateful for as much time and talent as you can spare. At different times throughout the weekend we'll look to have people roll on and roll of projects they're working on to mix up the skill sets.
