Welcome to Chinatown is excited to host our summer Design Hackathon in partnership with Gotham Park. The official hackathon starts on July 20th (virtual) and final presentations on July 24th at 115 Bowery.
This hackathon challenges participants to design wayfinding and visual markers that guide people from the Brooklyn Bridge through Gotham Park and into Chinatown.
Hackathon Schedule:
July 20th: Webinar Team Introductions (Virtual)
July 21st-23rd: Open ended work time. All participants are invited to work at The Hub
July 24th: Final in-person work day + presentations at The Hub
Gotham Park sits directly beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, which sees over 28K pedestrians cross daily. We're looking for creative solutions that capture that foot traffic — drawing visitors off the bridge, through the park, and into one of New York's most iconic neighborhoods. If you're a creative professional inspired by how design can make the built environment more human, more legible, and more alive — we want you at the table.
Applications close on July 15th.
Accepted applicants will be notified July 16th.
Special thanks to New-York Presbyterian for sponsoring this series of hackathons.
