9:00A - 5:00P

1850 I St., NWDC 20006 (Farragut West)

If you're in DC and have tech skills OR DON'T Participants will need to use the side entrance (19th & I) on Saturday, and should bring a picture ID and a laptop. The World Bank will provide coffee and donuts in the morning and pizza/water/sodas at lunch. CrisisCamp has brought together technology volunteers in six countries across numerous cities to provide local opportunities for citizens to assist in activities such as crisis mapping, data and RSS feed aggregation. In addition, people with specialized skills such as translation, computer programing and literacy advocates are encouraged to participate. This event is free and open to the public. You don't have to be technical to volunteer time. We request that you bring a laptop, your creativity and a power strip with you (to share with others).
