It's that time of year again! Please join Code for Boston for a weekend of unconference discussions and civic hacking at our fourth annual National Day of Civic Hacking event on June 4-5. Taking place over two days, this year’s event will feature a CommonCamp unconference on Saturday, and a technology-focused HackLab on Sunday.

For Saturday’s CommonCamp, Code for Boston is once again collaborating with MassIT, the IT department for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (http://www.mass.gov/massit), on a CityCamp (http://citycamp.com/)-style unconference event to kick start a dialogue about some of the critical issues that face our Commonwealth, bringing together government employees, technologists, and community members for a series of facilitated sessions in the areas of transportation, environmental & energy concerns, the opioid crisis, youth employment & workforce development, and more.No coding skills are required at CommonCamp.

For Sunday’s HackLab, we’ll invite local technologists to join us for a relaxed day of technological exploration and civic hacking. At HackLab, participants can follow up on ideas from Saturday’s CommonCamp, work on National Day of Civic Hacking challenges from Code for America (https://www.codeforamerica.org/events/national-day-2016), hack on open-source projects from government and community organizations, and redeploy Code for Boston apps (http://www.github.com/codeforboston) with new partners.

Participants can register for the events on Saturday, Sunday, or both. We can't wait to see you all for a couple days of collaboration, discussion, and civic hacking (http://www.codeforamerica.org/blog/2013/06/07/defining-civic-hacking/)!
