Description:
Join Code for New River Valley for the National Day of Civic Hacking on Saturday, June 6th at Rackspace.

On June 6, 2015, thousands of people from across the United States will come together for National Day of Civic Hacking. The event will bring together urbanists, civic hackers, government staff, developers, designers, community organizers and anyone with the passion to make their city better.

They will collaboratively build new solutions using publicly-released data, technology, and design processes to improve our communities and the governments that serve them. Anyone can participate; you don't have to be an expert in technology, you just have to care about your neighborhood and community.

Join Code for NRV as we hold our own event with projects relevant to our region! Learn more about the event: http://codefornrv.org/hackforchange , or just get registered: http://nrvhackforchange.eventbrite.com

Code for NRV is an all volunteer organization based around the idea that we as citizens can be part of the (technology-based) solution to some of our civic challenges. As an official Brigade chapter of Code for America, we meet regularly for hacknights where we get together to talk about and work on a variety of fun and interesting projects.

Rackspace is located at 1691 Innovation Drive in Blacksburg, VA in the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center.
