My name is Blair and I started Stay Home Hack as a way to help the community support each other through this challenging time.
I’m a data science and technology professional based in Sydney and have helped to organise some of the biggest hackathons and civic tech communities in the world including GovHack and Data for Democracy.
Stay Home Hack (https://stayhomehack.com) is a fully remote hackathon helping our society stay connected, productive and healthy.
We’re supporting entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, designers, researchers, analysts come together in a series of online events designed to build and launch solutions to emerging local problems of specific cities.
What started as a Sydney focused event quickly turned global with talented people from Belgium, Bangladesh and Singapore jumping onboard and we haven't stopped yet.
If you're looking to start working on a new project right now, check out our community for support! The Slack invite is at the link above.
Would love to know what you think
