Hacking is a term that has negative connotations. It can make people feel uncomfortable. The National Day of Civic Hacking does not have to make people feel uncomfortable. It’s all about using technology to help others.

It can be difficult for certain communities and individuals to keep up with technology’s ever-changing pace. There are people out there with the knowledge and skills to help those who don’t have it. This is their chance!

National Day of Civic Hacking is a day that encourages people to hack for the common good of their communities, neighborhoods, and the entire world. It was first celebrated in 2013.

National Day of Civic Hacking was developed in collaboration with US federal agencies as well as the United States Small Business Administration (USSBA), the Code for America Brigade Network, and SecondMuse. It is a nationally sanctioned day that promotes the positive side technology.
