Travel Stipends

CODEX proudly provides travel stipends, thanks in large part to the generosity of sponsorships. This allows us to increase the diversity of the event, so that every CODEX Hackathon brings together a balanced group of participants, of all backgrounds and skill-sets.

It was pretty great to be back at Code for America, this time as a hacker instead of an organizer. There ended up being over 20 presentations, all about the future of reading, and I met some amazing people. Pretty sure I've found my tribe. #codexhack #hack #booklove
