What is a hack day?
A hack day, also known as a hackathon, is a collaborative event where people work together on a project in a short period of time. Hack days are often used to develop new approaches to problems or complete large projects. Our hack day aims to involve communities across MK in activities which educate and empower residents to develop strategies for environmentally transformative living in their locality. Your input will contribute towards an update of our Doughnut Portrait of Milton Keynes and Good News Stories of MK - take a look at our Demonstrator Video to see what we have in mind for the next version.
This event will be the first 'hack of the day'. The second hack will take place at the Transition Town MK Monthly Social Meeting at Aiimi. All are welcome to come to one or both sessions.
