HackMKE

We are a local advocacy group in Milwaukee, WI. We're also the Code for America Brigade here. Our focus is on advocating for best digital practices in government, and mobilizing talented people in the community to improve government and the publics understanding and use of technology and information. We begin our work in 2011, and since then have grown to be the main resource for open data, civic tech and digital government innovation in Wisconsin. We have a community of more than 650 in our Meetup group, run a weekly workshop for people to work on projects, a quarterly idea share to showcase cool efforts in the area and yearly hackathons to work on specific issues. We also like teaching people and working with young talent whenever possible!
