Creative Hackathons
DigiEnable is proud to have run several creative hackathons in communities, including for Manchester City Council. This can include managing participants sending in their “content”, facilitating live sessions where participants “hack” the content to create new artworks, and wrap the project with a final portal to showcase the creations for participants, public and funders alike, such as in the previous case of Manchester Creative Hackathon a Google maps with pinned final creations relevant to the area the artwork is related to.
