If you are interested in attending, please supply some brief information about your interest in some proposed projects, your technical capabilities, and your experience with hackathons or other collaborative coding projects.

Everyone, regardless of career stage or technical training, is welcome to attend and contribute. The only requirement is a willingness to learn, and a commitment to working well in a collaborative environment. Virtual attendance will be available on a project-by-project basis.
