Join MovEd for Alberta’s first govtech hackathon. Come build better services for your city, province and all of Canada!

You are welcome to focus on any area of the public sector, whether that’s at the municipal, provincial or federal levels of government to build your innovation. Your ideas have the potential to shape the future of Alberta, making public services more convenient, efficient & transparent. You will be provided with ideas for your innovation, but you are welcome to solve any problem that bothers you in Alberta. An outdated service, inconvenient website or a new service that should be introduced in Alberta or nationally – this is what we want to see.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy! Just bring your curiosity and a knack for spotting problems that need fixing. If you love brainstorming and coming up with creative ways to make government services better for everyone, then without a doubt – this event is for you. We value teamwork, clear communication, and a big heart for making a real difference. You can assemble a team of 1-6 people and you can participate offline or online. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, work with a diverse group of innovators like yourself, and use your bright ideas to improve public services for yourself and other Albertans – you are the person that Alberta needs!

30 hours to build and show your project! What defines a good project: The problem you’re trying to solve; The prototype (MVP) of your solution/The presentation of your solution. Remember – the hackathon is more like ideation. It would be very difficult to build a full-fledged solution in 30 hours and we can totally understand that. Show us something that’s worth watching. The time of your presentation will be defined by the number of teams and people and you will be able to present your solution the next day at the closing ceremony.
