The foundation of the Urban Code is a three day hackathon event. A hackathon is an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, and community subject-matter-experts, collaborate intensively on software projects.
DESIGN EVENT (April 29, 2017): We invite middle and high school students to get involved in social change by designing a marketing campaign and website for the winning Hackathon project. The objective of this event is to introduce youth to careers in tech and design while working on a project aimed at improving the community.
