Hacks Hackers Rosario Hackathon

Hacks Hackers Rosario Hackathon was an event organized by the Santa Fe chapter of the NGO Hacks Hackers. It had two editions, one in 2017 and the other one in 2018. In the hackathons, citizens designed digital solutions to various problems in the city. Examples of initiatives discussed in the hackathon are: platforms to donate food, a collaborative map to visualize the representation of women in the city's street names and one that shows crime in the city, data journalism initiatives (e.g., making the local legislative agenda transparent), etc.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
