The hack is back: An invitation to get creative

Thank you for registering for the 2019 Insight Hack. 
We look forward to welcoming you to the discussion. You will receive an update in the coming week.

We&#x27;re organising a hackathon for Australia! It&#x27;s free, and it&#x27;s for everyone in government — not just programmers. So mark your calendar for the weekend of 25 and 26 October, sign up with a friend, and join Insight Hack Australia for the most creative shared intelligence experience you&#x27;ll spend time on this year. Along the way engage with diverse, rich and disruptive thought leaders on Insight Hack webinars.First things first: what is a hackathon? Don&#x27;t worry, it&#x27;s not illegal, and it has nothing to do with security. It has to do with ideas and collaborative policy creation. Here&#x27;s a definition from Wikipedia:A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest, or codefest) is an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers, collaborate intensively on software projects.We would add that we just need a lot of policy innovators — you can bring your knowledge of workflows, attributes, ideation, implementation, cabinet submissions, targets, or behavioural economics. We need all of that.A real-time, national insight hacking challenge. <ul><li>Network with peers across jurisdictions</li><li>Acknowledgement and awards for solutions</li><li>3-month access to <a href="http://platform.mindhive.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mindhive</a></li><li>Online events and forums</li></ul>The three public sector nominated issues are live.

Creativity in policyThe best thing we can do with our skills — and to acquire new ones — is create things. And if we create things with and alongside others, we learn from them and they learn from us, and we make lasting connections with people. We saw all this last year, when we built Austrade&#x27;s ideas and solutions platform.The event is online — less than 1min from wherever you are 😀. We are opening up especially for you — so we&#x27;ll have the platform to ourselves. Just us, our laptops, high-speed WiFi, and lots of virtual tacos. Sign up here. It&#x27;s going to be awesome.The best in AustraliaThis hack is blessed with some forward-looking governments that know all about innovation in policy design and implementation. We are thrilled to have some of them as partners in the initiative. So far we have generous support from South Australian Public Sector Innovation Lab — creators of the Connected Youth Journey Lab — IPAA — creators a national series of activities for Australian government departments, and LGAQ — creators of Local Buy, a core business focusing on contracts; establishing common-use procurement arrangements for councils and government entities. A massive thank you to them all.If you think your department might be up for supporting the event, please get in touch! And remember, a fantastic way to support the event — for free! — is just to come join and take part. Sign your team up here!Graduate supportWe know there&#x27;s a lot going on for most departments, and we know it&#x27;s easier to get money for traditional things like courses. So... We promise that this hackathon will bring you at least as much lasting joy, insight, and skill development as any course. And, if you&#x27;ll write and tell us what you&#x27;d like to contribute, we&#x27;ll consider you for help to cover any event costs. No strings. Send your ideas to hello@mindhive.org.z
