Code Across America is a multi-day event that any person, municipality, or
community can join, big or small, beginner or expert. Individuals and
groups can Code Across America through virtual and in-person activities
around the country.
The idea for Code Across started in 2011 when teams of Fellows hosted
community events while they were living in and exploring their partner
cities. Hackathons and the like were great at sharing the Code for America
effect with local communities and connecting them with local government.
In 2012, we carried on the tradition and booted up the Brigade at the same
time when we organized the first Code Across
America<http://codeforamerica.org/code-across-america-2012>in 16
cities, eight in Fellowship cities and eight in the first ever
Brigades cities.
In 2013 were Coding Across America again! Join us:
- *WHO:* Urbanists, civic hackers, city and county officials,
developers, designers, and anyone with the passion and motivation to
