Description
CycleHack Vancouver is a 48 hour event that is gathering together a diverse range of people with different skills and experiences ready to look at cycling in a new way. Join CycleHack Vancouver and the Maker Foundation on June 19th - 21st where we, together with a network of over 25 cities around the globe, are tooling up citizens to take a pro-active, DIY approach to making cycling more accessible, safer and fun for all.
Whether you cycle, drive or walk; make, design, code or just have great ideas this event is for you! We want to bring together and give a voice to all those who use our roads, to prototype new ideas that reduce the barriers to cycling.
Join CycleHackVancouer and the Vancouver Maker Foundation for a full weekend of CycleHacking fun. Kick off is an awesome range of speakers on Friday evening. The CycleHack weekend will end with a Sunday Showcase of the ideas that were brought to life by attendees -- like you. This is a not-for-profit event, where all the procedes will go towards materials to make hacks possible and refreshments for the weekend!
CycleHack starts with breakfast at Musette Caffee China Town on Saturday 20th at 9am with the MakerLabs workshops opening at 12pm. We will CycleHack until 9pm! It's ideal folks stay for as much of the duration as possible but you are under no obligation to stay the whole time. Teams will be testing their prototypes out in the city on Sunday morning before pulling together a presentation to show as part of our Sunday Showcase at 5pm!
Some refreshments will be provided throughout the weekend. This will include snacks, Saturday & Sunday light breakfast and Pizza on Saturday night!
Weekend ticket holders will be eligible for prizes at the end of the weekend!
Can't make the whole weekend? Sign up for our Friday night Show & Tell and our Sunday Showcase to be inspired by a wide range of people and ideas that focus on reducing barriers to cycling! Check out the speaker list on our website! http://cyclehackvan.tumblr.com/speakers
