This Thanksgiving, let's give first! The GiveFirst Hackfest will team up the best tech and design talent in Boulder with nonprofits to make a positive impact on our world. 

 

Here’s how it works. Nonprofits will pitch the technology they need to bolster their mission. Teams will form around the different projects, and the hacking will begin. Over the course of two days, the teams will be challenged to build fully functional MVPs of a product and present them back to the nonprofits and the community. 

 

The impact is real, the tech is real.   Join us at the crossroads of innovation and purpose.
