Melbourne Housing Hackathon

An enormous portion of YIMBY Melbourne's impact is underpinned by our volunteers' strong skills in data and technology.

Now, our first ever Housing Hackathon is an opportunity for volunteers to come together and work on a series of high-impact projects that will multiply the organisation's impact going forward. All in one action-packed weekend.

This isn't just a hackathon for programmers—it's for anyone who wants to contribute to the YIMBY Melbourne mission.

Whether you're an experienced programmer, or someone who's played around in Python a little, or are interested in communication and design, or just keen to learn something new—then this is the weekend for you.

Project types already lined up include:

• data analysis & communication
• data engineering & tools creation
• full-featured web applications
• design templating & policy communication

Previous & ongoing projects include:

• Housing Targets modelling
  
• Council agenda scrapers
• Walkability index

There is also the opportunity to pitch your own project through this form here. Specific projects will be announced closer to the day. 

Snacks and drinks and networking provided!
