On the weekend of May 2–4, 2014, we’re teaming up with the Science Leadership Academy, a Philadelphia public high school, to hold an on-location hackathon dedicated to education. We will bring together developers, teachers, and students to work together on applications and projects immediately useful and applicable in schools. If you don’t have a technical background, there are lots of other ways you can contribute. Every project needs designers, marketers, writers, and testers as well as developers, so come one, come all.

We’re changing the way city government works with tech and data. You can too.

At Code for Philly, you don’t need to be a technologist to be a civic hacker. It takes a team with set of diverse talents, perspectives, and experience to make a civic tech project successful.

Teams have a month…
