Hackathon for Missions

November 4-6, 2016

 

How can you create, use and leverage technologies to advance the Gospel and become “digital missionaries” right where you are?

Indigitous #Hack 

InterVarsity Campus Web Ministries is partnering in the Indigitous #Hack on November 4-6, 2016. The Indigitous #Hack will bring together tech students and Missions organizations in 26+ cities and universities around the world, to solve challenging problems in missions.

We are building on the success of the Urbana Hack4missions where 190 students submitted 13 prototypes and proof of concepts solutions to technological challenges faced by mission organizations.

You don’t have to be a programmer to get involved. There is a place for designers, photographers, writers, project managers, social media gurus and creative thinkers of all types! The most important skill is the abilities to work with others and find ways to solve problems.

This hackathon will have global ramifications through the solutions participants will bring to challenges facing missions efforts around the world. But it will also be a catalytic paradigm explosion for the developers, engineers, and designers who participate as they come to see their unique role in God's global mission. Not just that they have a part to play, but that their part is indispensable!

If you're excited about this sort of thing, there is a role for you in the #Hack, no matter your skills, interests or availability.
