GIFT THE CODE 2018

Helping charities thrive in a digital future. #UseDigitalForGood
&nbsp;
What is Gift the Code?
In its third year, <a href="https://hackworks.com/capital-one-gift-the-code/">Gift the Code</a> brought together more than 200 tech enthusiasts, digital strategists, and social good experts at the Globe and Mail Centre for a 48-hour hackathon that provided local charities with a tech boost in a creative and innovative manner. This initiative by Capital One involved different challenges presented by six nonprofit and charity organizations that needed to bridge their technology gap and thrive in a digital future. Since 2016, the annual Gift the Code Hackathon has had a simple purpose at its core: to help our community by leveraging our collective skills and using digital for good.&nbsp;
Gift the Code 2018 brought together a diverse group of participants ranging from coders, data scientists, developers, and designers - with big brains and even bigger hearts. Together with coaches and mentors, participants were paired with one of the six local charities. Everyone worked together over an intense weekend to solve problems that made a real impact!
