With the help of Nicholas Skytland and Alicia Llewellyn, founders of various NASA hackathons &#8211; including the Space Apps Challenge and the National Day of Civic Hacking &#8211; Indigitous launched #HACK in November 2016. Since then, hackers around the world have gathered every year to collaborate on missional projects aimed at solving problems affecting their communities. In 2020, lockdowns caused by the global pandemic resulted in #HACK moving online for our first virtual hackathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"mst-responsive-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#HACK Is Back This 2022\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UnwH2B7inNg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A hackathon is a hands-on event for programmers, developers, engineers, UX designers, project managers, and others to unleash their creativity through technology. For the duration of the event, usually a day or weekend, people with technical backgrounds come together, form teams around a problem, and collaboratively develop a solution. What separates the Indigitous #HACK from other hackathons is that our participants are focused on taking the Gospel to new people, places and spaces. We create long-term impact as we learn from each other and address challenges facing our local and global communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#HACK Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/hack.indigitous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HACK-Around-The-World-36-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hack.indigitous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HACK-Around-The-World-36-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hack.indigitous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HACK-Around-The-World-36-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hack.indigitous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HACK-Around-The-World-36-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hack.indigitous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HACK-Around-The-World-36-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hack.indigitous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HACK-Around-The-World-36.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>#HACK is more than just an event.
