Code til Dawn (Oct)
CIC @CET, 20 S. Sarah, Saint Louis, MO, USCode til Dawn is back — and October is all about building for St. Louis nonprofits.
For our October 30 edition, TechSTL, Turnberry Solutions, and CIC @ Cortex are bringing together 10 St. Louis nonprofit organizations with teams of developers, designers, data analysts, product builders, and other tech professionals for one fast-paced evening of community problem-solving.
Each nonprofit will bring a real technology challenge or project that a team can tackle during the evening. That could mean building or prototyping a website, app, chatbot, AI agent, database, dashboard, digital campaign, automation, or something completely unexpected.
The crazier the idea, the better.
From 5:00–11:00 PM, participants will form teams around nonprofit projects and spend the evening designing, building, testing, and creating something tangible that can help these organizations better serve the St. Louis community.
What makes this Code til Dawn different?
- 10 nonprofit projects selected from across the St. Louis region
- Cross-functional teams of developers, designers, analysts, strategists, and product builders
- Roughly four focused hours of collaborative building
- Experienced mentors available to help teams work through technical and product challenges
- Dinner provided for participants
- A chance to apply your skills to a real community need while meeting some of the region’s best builders
You do not need to come with a team or a project. Just bring your skills, curiosity, laptop, and willingness to jump in.
Early-career technologists, experienced professionals, students, founders, designers, developers, analysts, AI builders, and technical leaders are all welcome. We’ll help connect participants with projects where their experience can add value.For nonprofits
