Code for San Antonio | A Code for America Brigade

Join us on Monday Night to learn about technology, sharpen your skills, and help San Antonio at the same time! There are ample opportunities for people with any skill set and experience level to make an impact. 
It's easy - show up, become a part of a team & start making a difference in our community. 
With enough experienced programmers, each team will be able to code right away; otherwise, the teams will sketch out the idea with main points needed and assign any tasks to be done before the next meeting (aka making calls to the city or point of interest to get needed data for the future website)
