Gather around Downtown at the International Innovation Center and collaborate on current/future monthly hackathons topics and more! Code for Vegas is taking on a different general topic or focus area each month, with a month-long hackathon to enable and encourage ideation and innovation among all interested, no matter their schedule or background. Ideas matter, so bring yours and any other tools or methods you use to think outloud! For the May Finale at Tech Alley (Saturday, 21 May 2022) the focus is Earth Month and we will most definitely discuss any projects or ideas intended for the Show & Tell the following Saturday. Other topics we will cover: Is Code for Vegas for coders only, or can anyone participate?Hackathons only, or is there more to the story?What is the focus next month?How are the monthly project focus topics selected?Spoiler alert, the short answers (please attend for more detail and discussion): Inclusive Participation Across Talent and Interest Areas IS Code for Vegas!We aim to Make Our Smart City Smarter, monthly hackathons are where journies begin, not end!This one requires attendance, or come to Tech Alley for the general announcement...Soon we will announce monthly topics based on Municipal Partner Collaborations, initially we are aiming for general interest areas with achievable outcomes.Drop in any time, bring your stuff, bring your team, show up alone and meet collaborators while you chat about what is possible in our Smart City with Smart, Motivated People like You!
