Events

Meetups (Weekly)

Code for Kansas City hosts biweekly meetings to propose and work on projects. Project ideas often come from guest speakers such as tax specialists, representatives from other brigades, and reporters covering issues in city government.

National Day of Civic Hacking (June 2016)

On June 4th, 2016, thousands of people in more than 106 communities across the United States will come together to mark the fourth National Day of Civic

Hacking. This Code for America event, hosted in part by the White House, encourages people to create apps and services using publicly-released data. Together with local governments and community groups, they brainstorm, design, prototype, and create solutions to improve our communities and the governments that serve them.

Open to all students and professionals, NDoCH gives everyone the opportunity to grow and learn – no matter your background or skill. Urbanists, civic hackers, government staff, developers, designers, community organizers and civic advocates have a role to play at our hackathons. The event aims to use the skills of the city’s technology sector to improve residents’ quality of life, but anyone can participate; you don’t have to be an expert in technology, you just have to care about your neighborhood and community.

Code Across (March 2017)

CodeAcross is a national weekend of simultaneous events in the Code for America network of more than 40,000+ volunteers and more than 130+ brigades throughout the US. The goal of the CodeAcross event is to activate the local civic technology network and collaborate with neighbors to develop innovative solutions that help identify and solve real city challenges. Open to all students and professionals, CodeAcross gives everyone the opportunity to grow and learn – no matter their background or skill. Urbanists, civic hackers, government staff, developers, designers, students, community organizers and civic advocates all participate. CodeAcross isn’t just a chance to build websites, visualizations, and other hacks; it’s also an opportunity to build relationships within the community.

Desired Event Outcomes:

• Identify community concerns, examine issues, and prototype solutions that help our communities and make the government more transparent and more safe using public safety and health data

• Continue to power the narrative of Jersey City, the ‘Silicon Backyard’ being the leading modern city in New Jersey.

• Build lasting partnerships between the civic hacker community and the Jersey City Government, City Council Members, Council Nonprofit, Corporate and Educational Institutions
