How many brilliant technologists got their start by meeting the right person?
A chance to learn about coding can be all it takes to get someone started as a civic hacker, and Code for Philly wants to give technologists and non-tech folks alike a chance to do just that at its upcoming Open House Night.
In partnership with Girl Develop It’s Philly chapter, the civic hacking group is meeting next Tuesday at WeWork’s NoLibs space from 6 -8 p.m. to welcome newcomers and show off recent projects.
We're mashing up with @gdiphilly for our Aug Open House night! Check out the swanky @WeWork no libs offices 8/30 https://t.co/LwoxHiqB3X
