Civic Engagement Launchpad 2018: Brainstorming Night

Calling all thinkers, creators, influencers, designers, and coders. Our annual Civic Engagement Launchpad event has returned!

The Civic Engagement Launchpad is a month-long community initiative to launch public, open source, and multi-disciplinary projects. Evolving from weekend hackathons, Launchpad provides the resources, setting, and framework for diverse teams and individuals who want to make a positive impact. We welcome anyone who wants to engage with fellow citizens and local government. The best teams bring together a diverse set of talents and experiences.

What We’re Looking for in Projects:

• Increases civic engagement
• Helps residents engage with local government or the democratic process
• Uses data or technology to improve the lives of residents

Join us on Friday, April 27th for our kickoff weekend event @ the Caucus Room at City Hall.

This event will leave you inspired and ready to jump into a project. Light refreshments will be provided.

Please note: This event is free! But RSVP is required as space is limited.
