About

Kind idea labs are essentially open, online, long-running hackathons with a purpose. We want to help people get into tech with our objective-based learning, as well the amazing contributions of experienced practitioners to help deliver great projects for people to use.

If you’d like to take part, just get in touch (see our website) or simply fire an email over to contact@kindservices.co.uk to receive an invite to our daily stand-up. There is no commitment - just people having fun collaborating on great projects!

Prerequisites

If you’d like to participate in our labs, please check out the technologies used.

Also, everyone participating is expected to adhere to Kind’s code of conduct

Our Labs

We run our labs one-at-a-time with a clear deliverable/finish. If the community cares to keep it going or use the code for their own projects that’s great.

data-mesh - a distributed “data mesh” using kubernetes, micro-services, real-time streaming analytics platform
eyam-app - an app to help a local historic town organise services and events for visitors and residents
language app - a future lab building an app for personalised language learning

About the “idea-lab” name

The name was taken from Tim Urban’s What’s Our Problem, where Tim defines an “idea lab” as the opposite of an echo chamber – a place where people are respected, but ideas are to be challenged.
