Cultural coding
CultureCode is "... a series of free events designed to create an opportunity for North East cultural and digital communities to work closely together, increasing their understanding of each other's work and the mutual benefits of collaboration."
Taking place in February and March, CultureCode comprises a number of events, which all take place in Newcastle-upon-Tyne... and it's all free.
The events are:
- CultureCode Boutique: meet the digital practitioners
- CultureCode Encounter: where designers and developers meet
- CultureCode Salon: bring the two groups together to get chatting - in a pub (!)
- CultureCode Hack: a hackday where everyone convenes over 24 hours to build new ideas based on supplied data
