Earlier this year, Egyptians combined technology and political activism to revolutionary effect. Having overthrown a thirty-year dictatorship, they face new challenges to establishing democracy. Can technology help them through the divisive times ahead?
The Unconference and Hackathon for Egypt is an opportunity to find out. On May 14, programmers and engineers will gather at Stanford University to meet with Egyptian activists and discuss applications that could help their cause. Our aim is to build a community that bridges Tahrir Square and Silicon Valley to show what digital activism can achieve.
Bring your computers and we’ll provide the activists and the food. We’ll follow a uncomforance/hackathon format to let the ideas flow, in a venue perfectly designed for the purpose.
