Dojo Hackathon – Weekend

Coworking spaces have a pool of talent who want to help. There are a large number of social projects in the area that need this talent. We’ve found there are a lot of problems that come up in the process of connecting the two in a sustainable way for long term impact. The aim of this hackathon is create innovative solutions to these problems.

Coworking spaces are built around the ideas of collaboration, community-building and sustainability and filled with ambitious, innovative people from many different professions and backgrounds. How do we connect the members of our coworking spaces to community projects in an impactful and meaningful way while using the coworking space as a hub? Can we design a pilot framework that is sustainable and that can be scaled to other coworking spaces around the world? And how can we build out this global network of people and projects?

 

What is a hackathon?
Originally for nerds and computer programmers to come together to solve complex problems. Hackathons have merged into a great way to solve problems fast. People contribute individual skills and form teams to work together to help solve problems over a short period of time. This is a high energy and positive environment, where you’re also supported by mentors and industry leaders to help you innovate and solve problems. Register today to help create change.

I don’t think I can contribute
Everyone can contribute you don’t have to be a computer programmer; our hackathon enables people with a wide range of skills and expertise to come together. It doesn’t matter if you are a artist, fresh graduate, veteran business person, marketer, data scientist or someone just looking to create positive change, your brain will be valuable asset and will offer all participants the chance to upskill their knowledge and skillet and meet new people.

I don’t have any skills or knowledge I can contribute!
Yes you do! Everyone thinks differently or has hidden skills that can contribute in fresh ways. Don’t be scared- we are in this together and you’ll be supported by mentors and other participants

More on the theme and problems that need to be solved.
The basic theme of the hackathon is many people using coworking spaces want to help the local communities they visit and give back in some way. Many of the community projects need skills (marketing, web development, labour, business development, ideas, copywriting etc). Coworking spaces have people with all of those skills and there are volunteers who want to help, but there are issues in connecting potential volunteers with the community projects see below:

Who are we trying to help?
Non-Profits, NGO, Community projects and leaders trying to create sustainable change.

Some of the problems we need to solve:
– Community projects need reliable volunteers. A volunteer who is not reliable can do damage to a project and actually set it backwards. How can we hold volunteers accountable?
– Many potential volunteers are just passing through, so how do we utilise those people without having the community projects break down when they leave?
– If a coworking space refers somebody and they turn out to be unreliable, this reflects badly on the coworking space which can jeopardise any system which relies on the coworking space vetting volunteers.
– The community projects often don’t have an automated way to get volunteers up to speed, so they spend time giving the same information to new volunteers. This takes away from the time they could spend on the actual project. Can we come up with some standardized way of documenting a project and its needs so that we can ease that burden on community projects?

These are just some of the specific issues that are facing each of the stakeholders. At the event we’ll have a more exhaustive list of issues along with some speakers talking about their specific experiences in relation to these issues. The aim of the hackathon is to pick one or more of these issues and find a solution for them.

What will the hackathon produce or solve?
We don’t know just yet, but that’s the idea, we think some of the solutions will help the coworking spaces find community projects that they can add value to.
