“We’ve built rooms for people to code. Now let’s build rooms for people to create.”

The more I’ve observed hackathons, the more I’ve felt something missing

We celebrate the builders of infrastructure (and rightly so). But what about the people who give that infrastructure meaning, emotion, identity?

The Cultural Hackathon🌹 is my reflection on why I believe we need a new kind of hackathon, one designed not just for shipping code, but for shaping culture. A space for creators to collaborate, experiment, and lead the next wave of expression

This isn’t about replacing the traditional hackathon (we need it). It’s about acknowledging a missing piece. The piece that inspires people to care, to connect, to participate. That piece is culture. And we’ve never been more in need of formats that help us build it consciously

Also s/o to @humpty.eth for creating what I believe is the first iteration of a hackathon like this

Thank you!🌹
