Since its inception in 2014, the culture hackathon Coding da Vinci has brought together the cultural sector with creative technology communities to explore the creative potential of digital cultural heritage. Over a several-week sprint phase hackathon teams, together with representatives of cultural institutions, develop working prototypes --for example apps, websites, data visualisations, games or interactive installations-- that show surprising and inspiring new ways to communicate and make use of institutions' collections and artifacts in the digital age.

Cover des Coding da Vinci-Playbooks

Coding da Vinci has become a movement for open cultural data: Become a part of it now!

With the Coding da Vinci Playbook, you can run your own culture hackathons. It works like a cookbook: try out the whole menu, individual courses, or just certain ingredients - according to your taste. Benefit from many years of experience from a total of 14 Coding da Vinci editions, which guides you step by step through the organization of the entire process - from the provision of data to the creative "magic moment" of the kick-off to the presentation of the results.
