Civic Jam

Spend a weekend using service design to tackle real civic challenges facing Atlanta!

Civic Jam is a three-day, hands-on design jam hosted by SDN Atlanta in partnership with Civic Tech Atlanta, with thanks to our host sponsor, Harmonic.

You'll join a small team, dig into a civic challenge, and take it through the full service design process, from framing the problem to presenting your ideas at the end of the weekend.

When

• Friday, Nov 13: 6:00–8:00 PM
• Saturday, Nov 14: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
• Sunday, Nov 15: 9:00 AM–1:00 PM

Who should come
No government experience needed (but encouraged)! Designers, researchers, product folks, public servants, students and the civic-curious are all welcome.
Teams are formed on site, so come solo or bring a friend.

What you'll get

• Hands-on experience applying service design to real civic challenges
• Talks from local practitioners (speakers TBA)
• Coaching from experienced service design mentors all weekend
• Career extras: resume reviews and elevator-pitch practice
• A weekend of connecting with Atlanta's design and civic tech community

Your ticket helps cover meals, snacks and workshop supplies for the weekend. More details, including speakers, topics, and themes will be shared as they're confirmed. Stay tuned!
