Pittsburgh Thinkathon 2013
Part of the National Day of Civic Hacking
A hackathon (codefest, thinkathon, or startup weekend) is an
event where programmers, graphic
designers, interface designers, business people and project managers
collaborate on software projects over a finite timeline. A civic
hackathon focuses on opportunities to improve cities, counties and
municipalities. Ours is made possible through collaboration with the Mayor’s
Office, Allegheny County, Pittsburgh Dataworks, BuiltinPgh, and Rustbuilt.
Why should you participate?
Because it’s your city and county. By understanding and processing the content
related to selected civic issues as well as selecting the appropriate delivery
technology, significant community issues can often be theorized and solved over a
weekend.
Participants will:
- Experience the creative process of the
start-up culture
- Enjoy a significant networking opportunity
- Become part of a community of doers
- Learn a ton
- Become more involved in improving the
community, city and county
