Project Demos & Civic Action Night (Our First In-Person Social of the Year! :D)

Hello World!! We're going to be holding our first in-person hack night in ... +2 years? Come for the food, stay for the company. We'll be doing some of our usual hack night items like welcome and project demos, with. a somewhat more casual meet 'n greet tone, as well as a crossover with Catalyze SV. Our venue will be at ActionSpot, just on the edge of downtown San Jose, with some hybrid options available if you're unable to make it in-person. We'll be kicking off some projects as well as some more community-focused activities. Hope to see you there!

Join us for Civic Hack Night, where community members use their skills to make San José, and the South Bay, a better place. Teams will present their project demos for completed or work in progress.
