Hack for MN Returns
===================
Hosted by Open Twin Cities (http://opentwincities.org/), Hack for MN 2014 will
be the second annual gathering of passionate and engaged citizens given the
opportunity to explore and drive solutions for local community needs. Hack for
MN is Minnesota’s contribution to Hack for Change (http://hackforchange.org/),
the White House sponsored national event that draws citizens, community
leaders, government representatives, designers, and technologists to events in
90+ cities around the country to empower communities via new tools and novel
ideas.
Hack for MN invites Minnesotans to engage in “civic hacking” - to use the tools
available to us to creatively build new solutions for community and civic
problems. This will be a fun and enriching event where teams turn ideas into
action for the good of the citizens of Minnesota. Expect an extremely active
day focused on doing, not just talking.
Heading Home Challenge - Service Design for Homeless Veterans
====================================================================
This year Hack for MN will include a track focused on the Governor’s initiative
to end homelessness among Minnesota veterans by the end of 2015
(http://mn.gov/governor/blog/the-office-of-the-governor-blog-entry-detail.jsp?id=102-105011)
In partnership with the Minnesota Interagency Council on Homelessness and
MN.IT, Hack for MN invites people to participate in a facilitated service
design track that will explore homelessness among veterans, nurture new tools
and processes that address this issue, create prototypes to bring ideas to
life, and discuss strategies for testing the effectiveness of these
innovations.
