**Digital agency Studio Republic is running a hack day on 10 August, to create something
for social good.**

The [Hack for Good](https://www.studiorepublic.com/hackforgood/) day will bring 
together creatives, developers, designers, and makers, including local design and
technology agencies to make something worthwhile in one day. The University of Winchester
will be entering a student team, while local agencies will also be taking part in
Hack for Good. Members of [The Bot Platform](https://thebotplatform.com/), Hinge
and Rareloop will be sending teams to design, build and create something in just
one day.

[Studio Republic](https://www.studiorepublic.com/) is introducing a theme for the
day, inviting the public to [vote for one of four options](https://fundraising.co.uk/2018/07/16/digital-agency-run-charity-themed-hack-day/studiorepublic.com/hackforgood),
all based on creating something for social good. They are: ‘improve charity impact
demonstration’, ‘global water issues’, ‘online accessibility’ and ‘digital homelessness
services’.

> “It’ll be great to get some of the local creative industry together for a day

In the next few weeks, Studio Republic will announce the winning theme, giving teams
time to start thinking of what they could make on the day, while progress can be
followed on social media using the hashtag #HackForGood.
