2nd #HackFitchburg on tap at Fitchburg State College

Fitchburg State University’s ideaLab will host its second #HackFitchburg event next month, the school announced.

The “fun-filled brainstorming activity” is scheduled to run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at the ideaLab, in Fitchburg State’s theater block at 717 Main St., Fitchburg, the university said.

The concept of #HackFitchburg is to bring “community stakeholders” together to come up with a solution to a single question affecting the city, according to Fitchburg State.

“These events bring people together and make conversations about community development engaging through active brainstorming,” Joshua Croke, a consultant at the ideaLab, said in a statement. “It also provides opportunities for residents to be directly involved in sharing their ideas for their neighborhoods and the communities of which they are a part.”

The event is free. To register, visit hackfitchburg.eventbrite.com.
