Hack collective intelligence for impact
“This has been a very rewarding process to have a highly engaging platform to source and tap into ideas which would normally not come through to us.” Belinda Morrissey, English Family Foundation Eidos $25,000 Challenge

A National Policy Hack.
First things first: what is a hackathon? Don't worry, it's not illegal, and it has nothing to do with security. It has to do with ideas and collaborative policy creation. Here's a definition from Wikipedia: A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest, or codefest) is an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers, collaborate intensively on software projects. We would add that we just need a lot of policy innovators — you can bring your knowledge of workflows, attributes, ideation, implementation, cabinet submissions, targets, or behavioural economics. A real-time, national insight hacking challenge.
