What is the mission and purpose of Hack Baltimore?
Hack Baltimore is a movement, and it’s a new approach to how we solve problems in the city. We bring people together from across Baltimore—it doesn’t matter if they’re technologists, representatives of a community-led organization, or residents—to convene real conversations about how we can use technology and civic hacking to create sustainable solutions. There are many challenges to pick from in Baltimore, but for our organization and our hackathon [event], we stick to those related to housing, education, transportation, public safety, health and wellness, and workforce development.
