The National Day of Civic Hacking is a day where thousands of people across the country join together to use their coding skills for social good. Developers, government employees, designers, journalists, data scientists, non-profit employees, UX designers, and more collaborate on projects that benefit their communities.
In 2014, REDI partnered with CodeMontage in New York City to create an environment of learning and engagement for REDI employees and the developer community in support of The National Day of Civic Hacking. During the National Day of Civic Hacking, teams formed around Social Impact themes and projects. Leaders from Social Impact projects worked directly with developers. A Help Desk was formed making sure each participant found a project they were passionate about.
