Here’s Your Chance To Join An Old School Hackathon

If you head to downtown Delray, you can’t help but notice the Delray Center for the Arts at Old School Square.

If you ever had any ideas to improve the place, here’s your chance.

Delray Beach Center for the Arts is partnering with Startup Delray to explore creative possibilities for the Center’s future, and  they need your help.

Delray Center for the Arts and Startup Delray are asking community leaders, entrepreneurs, technologists, makers, writers, artists, musicians, educators, businesses, and students to participate in an evening of discussion and innovation, hosted by Startup Delray on Monday, Aug. 19.

In the world of computer programming a “hackathon” refers to a large group of programmers gathering to collaborate on a specific project.

Startup Delray would like you to “hack” Delray Beach Center for the Arts and generate creative ideas for building upon the center’s already successful programming and exciting new uses for existing spaces.

Of particular interest: in exploring STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) programming for youth and young adults and how those disciplines can be infused into programming at Delray Center for the Arts.

Here’s a look at how the night will flow. All are welcome, so come and hack.

When:  Monday August 19th, 6-9 p.m.

Where:  Vintage Gymnasium at Delray Center for the Arts, 51 N. Swinton Ave.
