How it works
Everyone has the opportunity to learn by doing at our events.
Whether you come with an idea, project, or team - doesn't matter.
The event will be coordinated in semi-open-space will happen during scheduled as well as emergent sessions, (self)organized in accord with Agile principles.
Experience
The typical Hackathon culture has participants staying up all night, drinking energy drinks & eating junk food in a competitive community driven by prizes as motivators. A couple people leave as winners, most people leave as losers, & everyone leaves exhausted. That's not our style.
We want to build a more humane internet with greater individual sovereignty & collective intelligence, & we want to reflect that intention through our events. Holochain Hackathons are focused on building community through the sharing of information & skills in a cooperative context. We want the process to be centered in building relationships & learning together to create a rich experience for all. We'll organize & schedule sessions as & when needed so that we spend more time learning by doing & less time in back to back classes. We feed include healthy food options & have reasonable start & end times so that participants leave the event feeling good.
Cost
Registration fees go towards covering the cost of the venue, food, & materials. We want the event to be accessible to everyone, if finances are a barrier for you, please reach out to us at organizers@holochain-nyc.org for support.
