Awesome, you have an idea or a project of your own that you would like to work on at the Lab. The project can be more than just something you build, it could be a story that you writing or dataset that you are scraping.

Sometimes when working on a project or an idea it’s easy to lose track of certain parts. To help with that at the Codebridge DurbanLab we use HackDash. HackDash is a space for ideas and projects. It is also great for collaborating on projects. You can also have a look at the existing projects and ideas.
