We've got lots of exciting things to share - are you ready to join us in making 2018 one to remember? First things first, we have a brand new shiny website where you'll find new dates for Tech for Non Tech.
We're also super excited to announce our new program: Sandpit. Spinning off from the foundations of our Academy program, Sandpit takes
organisations through the process of idea validation over six weeks. To read more about it, click here.
You may also have noticed we've changed up our monthly newsletter - reflecting more of the things you'd find on our Slack channel. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what's working, what's missing and what's valuable to you. Hit reply and we can chat more.
Lastly, our emphasis for 2018 is ensuring there's a place for everyone in shaping civic tech in Australia. We have a nifty Typeform which can help to find where your skills are needed, but if you're still unsure of how you can play a part in creating positive social impact through civic tech, our door, and my inbox is always open.
Thank you for being part of our community. Here's to an incredible year ahead!
