Access to services is one of the key benefits of locating in a city, but many services are difficult to access. Knowing that they exist, finding where they are, when they are, and who is involved can be a struggle. We aim to fix that. At code the city you’ll help a passionate group of volunteers to build new tools and services to help people in your community access existing services and even star
t new ones. At Code the City we focus on some key areas:
Achieving social good
Improving local services
Sharing skills and knowledge across disciplines
Using and creating open data and Open Government Data (OGD)
Open source
Quick delivery of real results
Over the course of the weekend you will help to deliver prototype services to assist our communities in accessing existing services, and to help facilitate the creation of new services. These prototypes will take the form of websites, web apps and more. With access to exciting technology and data, and supported by experts in various fields, this is an excellent opportunity to work closely with a passionate team on problems that matter.
