[GovHack WA]

We will be bringing GovHack further across WA than we ever have- with confirmed events in Fremantle, Albany, Geraldton and Mandurah this year!

GovHack is up and running in WA!
This year sees GovHack celebrating it’s 10th birthday in Australia! It started in Canberra but it has grown significantly since it’s inception and grown to cover all states and territories. Over the years, many great ideas have been created and adopted and we are excited for what's coming this year!

For the Hackers and Sponsors - there have been some great changes in GovHack 2019.  For example, sponsors will be able to decide if their challenges are open to all competitors or restricted to states.  This creates an opportunity for competitors to potentially compete in challenges in other states and enables sponsors to potentially increase the size of the brains-trust working on their issue.

With less than 11 weeks to the Competition weekend, significant progress has been made on locking in previous venues and securing some new ones, thanks to our State Operations Committee 🙌. We can confirm that we will be bringing GovHack further across WA than we ever have- with confirmed events in Fremantle, Albany, Geraldton and Mandurah this year!

Keep an eye out for more information coming in the next few weeks about the GovHack WA Connections Event, which will be an opportunity for you to view data sources prior to the competition weekend and meet with others before the hacking begins! Please also note that registrations for the competition weekend open mid August.

Don’t forget to share this newsletter with people you think should be kept informed so they can register for newsletters.

Warm regards,
Sue-Ellen, GovHack WA State Director

Disrupting Law- Hackathon 2018
Friday 16/08 - Sunday 18/08 @ IQX, Crawley
Running over a weekend, students will be mentored by industry professionals and experienced entrepreneurs. The purpose is to develop a software solution for a specific problem from the legal profession. Within 54 hours they will brainstorm, ideate, validate, prototype and build a business model which they will present 'Shark Tank Style' to an industry panel.

Teams of participants will select a software-based challenge related to the legal industry. Each team of students will work with lawyers from some of Perth's leading Law Firms and Community Legal Centres.
