CultureCode Hack will take place over a 24 hour period. The event will commence with artists and cultural organisations presenting in a pecha kucha style format (http://www.pecha-kucha.org/what) showcasing their organisations and the open source data they will be making available for this event.

Perhaps you have an organisational challenge that you need to overcome, or a fascinating story to tell? This is your opportunity to share with a group of peers and digital specialists who may help you develop a new concept that you can take forward in collaboration with the developer who made it. 

Following the presentations the hacking process will commence; developers, designers and creative technologists will form groups and, in conjunction with the cultural community who own the data, they will start to generate new ideas and prototypes.

Not everyone will get their project taken on by developer groups at the Hack so you need to make your idea and data as exciting as possible. Even if your data isn’t chosen, we’d encourage you to stay and see what happens next! In addition to the hack there will be films playing, coding for beginners workshops and maker activity. Food and drink will be available throughout the event. There will also be a quiet spaces for those who would like to have a little snooze.

At the end of the event an award ceremony will take place where some of the projects will win prizes.

If you are based in the South of the region, a coach will be available to take you to the hack. If you are interested please contact culturecode@codeworks.net for more information
