[Swansea Hackspace] Free hackathon in Cardiff

[Hannah Scarbrough]

Hi all

I thought this may be of interest to your members, a free hackathon in Cardiff with prizes sponsored by Tableau, Google News Lab and Software Academy.

Hack the Local, 11 and 12 June
Hadyn Ellis building, Maindy Road, Cardiff

Hack the Local is a free weekend hackathon to build new apps and platforms based around local news and information challenges. Software developers and tech start ups will join forces with community and mainstream journalists to compete for prizes and get expert guidance in open data, data journalism and more. We will be serving free lunches, teas and coffees throughout the weekend and on Saturday evening, attendees will be invited to an evening reception sponsored by Seasons<http://seasonscardiff.co.uk/> where they will be greeted with prosecco on arrival and a complimentary buffet. It's a great opportunity to meet likeminded people and businesses, and forge new collaborations. More information and to register for your free place: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hack-the-local-free-hackathon-to-explore-local-news-and-information-tickets-24396275918
