In this event, people from different places, walks of life and lines of thought come together to share, collaborate and learn. Hackers talk code. Artists share their creativity. Students join in from schools and colleges to learn new skills. Locals and globals mix and mingle. Among all the software and hardware, we also build things like tables, hula hoops, interactive art installations, and solar lanterns. We connect. We dance and sing. Ideas emerge. Collaborations form. Lives change. In the hacking, we get hacked ourselves. Philosophy HillHacks is passionate about making, sharing, learning, and the broad concepts of open source. Freedom, security, and environmentalism are also key to hillhackers. All of our ideas have conjoined into something exceptionally creative. The event starts with a core team and then takes shape organically based on the competence and skills of the attendees. This is similar to an unconference which is a participant-driven event. The agenda isn’t fixed in advance—the people who show up decide what gets discussed, when, and how.
