online event
About this Event
Do you dream about new and innovative ways we can share the gospel and make disciples?
Is God calling you to serve Him using your tech skills?
Do you want to meet like-minded people who are also passionate about tech and missions?
Do you have an innovative idea that is itching to get built?
Do you want to spend your time and skills coding to change people's lives?
When you hear of global issues, does your mind immediately go to work building a technical solution?
WHAT IS A HACKATHON?
Hackathons provide a hands-on event for self-expression and creativity for computer programmers, developers, engineers, user experience, project managers and others through technology. People with technical backgrounds come together, form teams around a problem or idea, and collaboratively code a unique solution from scratch — these generally take shape in the form of websites, mobile apps, and robots.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT INDIGITIOUS HACK?
Indigitous #HACK uniquely gathers devoted Christ-followers with a desire to extend God’s purposes in our local cities and connects us around the world. #HACK offers Christians in each host city an opportunity to make new friends and learn from one another while addressing critical issues through digital solutions. #HACK invites people to meet the needs of the church, missions and society on a local and global scale, expanding the Great Commission through new innovative platforms and digital strategies.
I CAN'T CODE, CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?
To get right to the point… yes! #HACK welcomes anyone who wants to collaborate together on missional technology projects for long-term impact. While our work focuses on multiple technology platforms, you don’t have to be a programmer to get involved. We need designers, photographers, writers, project managers, social media gurus – creative thinkers of all types! The most important skill is the ability to work as a team and find ways to problem-solve. Also, while Indigitous #HACK is explicitly Christian, participants from any (or no) faith background are welcomed warmly.
WHERE WILL THE HACKATHON TAKE PLACE?
This will be a virtual event. You can participate online. You're also welcome to meet with someone else or a group of people e.g. in your flat and join the hackathon together from your location.
We will be using the Nunify Platform.
