What is CodeAcross?
Civic Tech Toronto is hosting our third annual hackathon in partnership with the Toronto Public Library on Open Data Day (March 3rd, 2018). This year our theme is The Future of Work.
We welcome all members of the public: coders, designers, policymakers, government staff, students, and creative minds who share an interest in making Toronto more responsive, prosperous, sustainable and equitable, through tech and design. As design and technology continue to transform our workplace and our citizenship, this year we challenge you to redefine the future of work.
