360Flex – The Charity Code Jam is On!

Want to build an app for a great Charity? Want to do something bigger than you? The 360|Flex Charity Code Jam is a great way to do that!! Thanks to Adrian Pomillio for pushing forward and locking in the details.

Check out the full details here. For those that don’t know here’s how the Charity Code Jam works.

Monday morning at the keynote we kick off the Jam. We’ve got a room in the hotel, and from Monday morning until Wednesday morning anyone who wants to help simply shows up and contributes code, mentorship, DB skills, design, whatever is needed. The Game Jam doesn’t stop for breakfast or dinner, and often attendees who participate, aren’t seen until its done.

This time the Charity we’re building an app for is the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. You can find out more about this great Foundation fighting children’s Cancer here (PDF).

We can’t say enough about how awesome the Code Jam is. It’s so great to help support non profits, by building software they most likely wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise. In previous years we’ve built apps for Food Banks, and other non profits, things that have helped them and their constituents immensely.

Build up some software Karma points, help out during the Code Jam, there’s no other event where this happens, and it’s part of what makes 360|Flex such an awesome event (if we do say so ourselves). Register now!!
