What should I bring?
Just your laptop and a can-do attitude!
WiFi, food and refreshments will be provided during the event. Please let us know if you have any dietary needs or food allergies.
What can I expect?
As a volunteer, you will be paired with one of our 30 selected nonprofit organizations. Over the course of the weekend your team will develop a solution which solves a technology issue that your nonprofit faces.
Friday evening is the kickoff for the event and a chance for volunteers to meet fellow team members and representatives from their assigned nonprofit.
Saturday is when the bulk of the work takes place, with teams working on design and construction of each solution.
Sunday is our final day, each team should be working on the finishing touches and we end the event with a recap of all of the projects.
At the end of the weekend, nonprofits will leave with technology solutions that would normally have cost thousands of dollars. During last year’s event, 101 volunteers provided over $155,000 worth of services to 29 nonprofits. We hope that you will be able to top that!
