Introducing the 2018 Melbourne Summer Changemakers
By Arna Karick
The RHoK Australia Melbourne Summer Hackathon is just over a month away and we have six fantastic organisations and social enterprises that we’ll be collaborating with. We also welcome S.J. from DocDir, an initiative that aims to train GPs and other health professionals to have an integrated LBGTQI practice.
S.J. has come to RHoK with a brilliant idea that just needs to be fleshed out before we start ideating a tech solution, so we will be working with her on the weekend to get those ideas down on paper.
“We are looking for ‘Goldilocks’ problems; they need to be small enough so that they can be progressed over a weekend, but large enough to make a real difference.”
