Code for KC is a program of KC Digital Drive, and an affiliate of the national Code for America Brigade network. We work on civic tech projects throughout the year at our weekly Monday night hack nights. Hack KC is an annual hackathon that serves as a kickoff event for many of our projects. Unlike a typical weekend hackathon, our program is less about what can be built in a weekend or who can build the best or fastest, and more about what we can build to benefit the community.
