Welcome and thank you for registering your interest in the upcoming Voluntari.ly hackfest on May 25th & 26th. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to such a valuable cause, which will give our STEAM teachers the support they need to empower the youth of today with amazing learning experiences. Not to mention, you'll have an enjoyable weekend filled with opportunities to learn, network, design, code and contribute to a live codebase!

Where: Unleash Space, the University of Auckland. 20 Symonds Street, Auckland 1010. https://goo.gl/maps/Gk43zv9LHSUdhANr7
