We would like to invite you to a special all day event where you'll compete with others to develop software or visual prototypes to win up to £2000 cash prizes and support to take forward your idea.

  1. Sign up to attend the event above
  2. Submit your ideas to our competition
  3. Tweet about it using the hashtag #transformedbyyou

What type of event is this?

We are bringing people together for a day to develop visual and software prototypes of digital tools that tackle local challenges. If you're curious as to what this means, check out these different events.

How will it work?

In advance of the event, you can submit ideas to our competition and then put forward prototypes that you want to develop on the day. On the day itself, you will be able to choose which prototypes you want to work. If you've put one forward, you're probably going to want to work on that one, but if you haven't put any prototypes forward, you can work with someone on theirs!. The day will be all about developing these prototypes to win the prize of the best prototype for each of the two challenges.

The venue at Gravesham Council Chambers hosts a main room where you will meet and network and breakout to develop your prototypes. This has a public access wifi internet connection. 


You'll be pleased to hear, we'll provide you with refreshments and lunch, so if you have any special access and dietary requirements, please let us know before 11th November on developing.solutions@gravesham.gov.uk.

You will need to bring a laptop to work on, and please feel free to bring your cameras or camcorders if you want to capture the day!
