OUR STORIES

Hacking for good might not be a term that is familiar to everyone, but impactNPO hope it soon will be. The kiwi born organisation runs charity hackathons that combine the experience and skills of kiwi developers, content producers, coders, designers and business operations folk, with charities in need. This September, impactNPO held its first hackathon at GridAKL which helped produce solutions for charities as diverse as Child Poverty Action Group and Sustainable Coastlines. We talked to one of the organisers Richard Scott Will Harknett about impactNPO its mandate and how you can get involved. 

This Thursday, The NZ Film Commission, Film Auckland, The NZ Game Developers Association and Colab at AUT University are bringing together the local community of screen producers, story tellers and game developers to hear from two transmedia gurus, to discuss how the worlds of film, TV, interactive gaming and apps are coming together to create unique storytelling opportunities for both corporates and creatives.
 

Have an idea on something we should feature? Have a writing itch that only writing for the GridAKL blog will scratch, or an idea on how a top twenty happiest goats article would be tech relevant? Drop our editor and communications co-ordinator Anya a line, she loves an excuse to chat, especially if its about twitter.
