What is a hack day?
A hack day, also known as a hackathon, is a collaborative event where people work together on a project in a short period of time. Hack days are often used to develop new approaches to problems or complete large projects. Our hack day aims to involve communities across MK in activities which educate and empower residents to develop strategies for environmentally transformative living in their locality. Your input will contribute towards an update of our Doughnut Portrait of Milton Keynes and Good News Stories of MK - take a look at our Demonstrator Video to see what we have in mind for the next version.

This event will be the first 'hack of the day'. The second hack will take place at the Transition Town MK Monthly Social Meeting at Aiimi. All are welcome to come to one or both sessions.

Topics or questions you might be interested in include:

How are our water systems (inc. our lakes, rivers and canals) interconnected with the health and well-being of people and the environment?
What do you think of your water bill?
Are you at risk of flooding, are the authorities doing enough to protect you and your property?
How can water resources adapt to meet Milton Keynes ambitious growth targets?
What’s the water quality of our local rivers?


Bring along your:

Hopes and dreams for the future of MK
Experience and knowledge of local strengths and weaknesses
History and stories
Questions, challenges and thoughts on how you could help improve water in MK
