Hack Night Live with Englewood Codes

Christopher Whitaker

Join us tonight at 6:15 pm CST for the live stream of tonight’s Chicago OpenGov Hack Night. Recently featured on Fox 32, the hack nights are a place where web developers, designers, data scientist, community activists,  and city staff come together to work on civic projects.

This week will feature a presentation by Demond Drummer of Teamwork Englewood. In the spring, Drummer created a Kickstarter campaign for a summer youth  program teaching kids to code.  The Kickstarter attracted donations from all over the city, including Smart Chicago which kicked in $1,000.

The program has been going strong all summer and will host thier demo day on August 29th to present the projects. Drummer will talk about his experience running the program and what’s next for the project.
