Last update: Saturday 8/29/15
Goodie Hack is a mashup of social good, tech, entrepreneurship, and highly-skilled and passionate people. It’s, quite possibly, the coolest community service project you’ll ever experience. The Charleston edition, powered by Accelerate With Google, was an intense and fast-paced two (2) day event where the Black Googler Network AND Charleston leaders formed teams to create technology ideas that solved problems in under-served communities. More information can be found on the panel's event page.
