For the second time Rewired State initiative is opening the doors for young coders
and designers to deliver specific solutions and suggest their ideas to the government.

 

> [This year](http://rewiredstate.org/yrs) we are going to be running a slightly
> different event that is essentially a hack week for young developers across the
> country to go and build visualisations, digital and/or non-digital products using
> government data, alongside working devs in businesses across the UK. These would
> be presented back to government at the end of the week, either in person, or by
> live stream from wherever you are based.

You can find examples of those solutions [on the event site from last year](http://rewiredstate.org/projects).
Personally I like the idea of working with positive images and attitudes presented
by [this one](http://rewiredstate.org/projects/awesometer), for example.

It’s a great idea giving younger, talented people opportunity to direct their talents
at something extremely important to all of us. I am extremely happy to see this 
potential in action, and I hope you will watch carefully for the notes and updates
from this year’s edition.
