If you are a fan of Code for America and want to get involved in New York then now is the time to start!
There is now a Brigade Meetup for New York. The next one is Sept. 20, 5-7 pm
This is an open call for all NYC Coders/Designers/Digital Strategists!
The Big Apple has long been an east coast center for tech and innovation. Let's use our skills and experience to do some good for a change.
Location:
Blue Ridge Foundation 150 Court St., Floor 2
Brooklyn, New York (map)
Our first meetup: Introduction to NYC Brigade
Conference room: Smalls
Train Directions:
2/3, 4/5, R to Borough Hall
F/G to Bergen St. (less walking)
A/C to Jay St.
Directions: Blue Ridge Foundation offices are located right above the CVS; it’s a clear door with their sign on it. You can just come up to the second floor, (grey door). When you arrive, ask the guard about the room (smalls) and he will gladly show you.
Also note the September 28 Code for Change event in partnership with NYU Wagner Graduate School of
Public Service: http://applicationsforgood.
There are some great challenges lined up from both
NYC gov and non-profits based in New York. We need coders, designers,
data scientists, and other technologists to step up to the challenges.
The competition offers prizes of cash, mentorships, working space,
classes and access to venture capital. It's a chance to good and do
well at the same time!
