• The UR Boulder Website
• Tech Challenge Rules and Guidelines
• Tech Challenge Submission Form
• RSVP for UR Boulder - finalists will automatically be registered. If you want to attend regardless of whether your idea is accepted, go ahead and register now!

Please introduce yourself and let us know if you have any questions!

Hurray! I submitted a proposal today on behalf of Code for Boulder. We're working on a project with The Community Foundation to strengthen community engagement through open-source technology. What happens next? Will the projects be posted here for people to comment? Thanks! Geri, Code for Boulder
