What is Local Hack Day?

Local Hack Day: Learn is a global week-long conference that you can share with your community. You can pick up the new skills you need by participating in workshops and talks with a community around the world. Over the course of 12 hours, attendees will experience a series of workshops where they’ll learn skills such as publishing their first website using AWS, sending their first SMS with Twilio, and building their first game in Unity. This is an event for all skill levels, from beginners to the most veteran developers. Workshop attendees will learn skills that they can apply in their projects, schoolwork, job, and beyond.

What is LHD: share?

Local Hack Day: Share is a week-long celebration of sharing everything you’ve learned as a hacker. If you’ve been hacking with us all year, we’re excited to have you back. If this is your very first event, we’ve got a ton of beginner-friendly challenges for you to complete that’ll have you shipping your hack like a pro in no time. You’ll have your pick of technical, design, and social challenges to complete - each with an emphasis on sharing your work. The more challenges you conquer, the more points you’ll earn. Tune in each day to check out the leaderboards and share what you’ve built.

schedule

Local Hack Day: Share will run from Sunday, March 28th to Sunday, April 4th with a closing ceremony on Monday, April 5th. 

You’ll spend the week completing technical, design, and social challenges to earn points. There are challenges for every skill level from beginner friendly to hackathon experts. We’ll have a set of Week-Long Challenges that you can complete whenever you’re ready to, but we’ll also have special Daily and Weekend Challenges that you need to complete before they’re gone. 

Aside from our challenges, we’ll have “live sessions” streaming for you to watch. At these sessions, you’ll join an MLHer as they complete a challenge with you while on stream. They’ll walk you though signing up, completing the challenge, and submitting it properly. These are our favorite ways to see the community at LHD: Share, so don’t miss them!
