Coding da Vinci Baden-Württemberg
Germany's most successful hackathon for open cultural data
Museums, libraries, archives and memorials (GLAMS)* have a valuable treasure: their extensive data collections on a wide variety of topics – our common digital cultural heritage. This is usually little known to the general public. Coding da Vinci wants to change that. Founded in Berlin in 2014, the initiative brings together cultural institutions with students and the open data and creative tech communities to develop innovative applications for different target groups.
What happens at the Culture Hackathon?
As part of Coding da Vinci Baden-Württemberg 2022, GLAMs from all over Baden-Württemberg are called upon to make their data available for creative use by participants. The ideas and programming competition is aimed at students from a wide range of disciplines as well as coders, designers, game developers, artists, tech-savvy young people and other interested parties.
Participants work together in small teams to develop digital applications that are then developed into prototypes. Visualisations, games, VR/AR applications or apps can be created that establish new connections between the institutions, their cultural heritage and the public.
