As the issue of equity and civic tech, equity and tech in general is top of
many people's minds these days, I want to especially encourage you to check
out the second CodeSwitch event  in Minnesota. If you
would like to be put in touch with organizers, drop me a note
 and I will introduce you in case this inspires you
to organize something similar or to trade note on your similar activities.

*What is CodeSwitch?*

Code Switch is a free, two-day civic hackathon in which community members,
designers, project managers, programmers, and people who just want to
learn, collaborate intensively on projects that change our community. Great
solutions are born when innovators from the community lead the development
process—from ideation to launch.

*Is CodeSwitch for me?*

Yes. Code Switch is for everyone. Code Switch is for you. We are looking
for techies AND non-techies: from developers to entrepreneurs, artists,
educators, business professionals, everyday people and more! You will join
other people on a team to come up with an idea on a web or mobile app that
helps solve a pressing problem in your community.

*What is a Hackathon? *

A hackathon is an event in which community members, designers, project
managers, programmers, and people who just want to learn, collaborate
intensively on projects. There are no fixed rules for what Code Switch
project teams can work on. Projects can be technical or non-technical.
Projects can be proposed by anybody (yes, anybody). You don’t need a
detailed plan.

*Organizers *
Code Switch is organized by Blacks in Technology - Twin Cities
, Open
Twin Cities , and Software For Good
. It is part of Hack for MN and the National
Day for Civic Hacking 2017
.
We leverage inclusion, data, and technology for civic innovation and change.
