Trenton Makers Day 2016 Description

Coding for Community was a huge success - over 100 municipalities from every corner and core of Jersey, and dozens of eager technologists and designers together with sustainability advocates and government representatives all in one room!

But there's a new challenge. We actually generated more projects than we had people - so it's up to us, techies and visionaries, to join up with more teams and make their dreams a reality. Register to be on a team today and check out the current proposed projects and find your team! About $10,000 in prizes and a savvy, sustainable Jersey are on the line.
