Building for SF — A Free Civic Buildathon, Sept 11-12 - Two days. Real projects. A city that works better.

about this event

San Francisco has no shortage of problems — and no shortage of people who care. This September, we're giving builders, policy folks, and curious residents two days to actually do something about it. Building for SF is a free, two-day civic buildathon bringing together residents, technologists, designers, and civic-minded builders to design real solutions for San Francisco's toughest urban challenges. You'll form a team, build something real, and walk away with a working project — and a room full of new collaborators who care about this city as much as you do.

THE SCHEDULE Friday, Sept 11 · 6-8pm — Kickoff & Team Formation: Meet your fellow builders, hear from speakers, and find your team for the weekend. Saturday, Sept 12 · 10am-5pm — Build Day: Dedicated time to build, with mentors circulating throughout the day to help you get unstuck — followed by live demos and awards.

SPEAKERS & MENTORS We've got practitioners joining from: Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), Sitelab, Vacant to Vibrant, Civic Joy Fund — Luke Spray, Abundance SF — Todd David, and more! Thank you to our generous HOST on Saturday, YesSF!

WHO SHOULD COME Engineers and designers, policy and urban planning folks, product people, and residents with zero technical background but real opinions about how this city could work better. The best teams are mixed. If you care about SF, there's a place for you here.

Free to attend. RSVP below to save your spot.
