CALLING ALL CIVIC-MINDED GEEKS!

Jazz, Code for Pakistan and OPEN Islamabad brings the biggest and most exciting Hackathon of the year ‘Jazz SDG Hackathon’ happening in Islamabad on the second weekend of December 2018. This is going to be a 2.5 days long Hackathon starting on 7th December and concluding on 9th December, 2018.

If you believe you:

  • Have a great idea that you want to bring to reality.
  • Like working with intelligent people.
  • Have skills in web or mobile development, design, mapping, data analysis, research, subject matter expertise in SDGs or the civic space.
  • Have what it takes to innovate on top of government information and services.

Come, utilize your talent and creative skills in transforming Pakistan in line with 5 of the selected SDGs for the better.

During this weekend, you will learn design thinking, open-source hacking for social good, receive mentoring and input from domain experts in government and local organizations, have opportunities to network, and work in teams to create solutions — all for free.

You will form teams to create prototypes that address civic and social problems in line with the Sustainable Development Goals initiative of the UN. All you need to do is bring your creativity, skills, and enthusiasm! We at Code for Pakistan will do the rest. We will bring together great mentors to assist you. There will be lots of energy and excitement through creative activities. Not to mention a lot of food and swags.
