Manchester YRS at the Custard Factory in Birmingham
In early August MadLab hosted Young Rewired State 2012. If you didn’t catch the goings-on on the website, check out what we got up to here. We also captured the week on camera and video – click the link to see all our lovely mugs, captured for posterity.
We kept you up to date with what the YRSers were up to, but there was a veritable army of support from the community and we’d like to take a moment to thank each and every one of them.

From the 6th-10th August, MadLab will be hosting YRS Manchester. We’ve hosted it annually since it started in 2010 and over the years have seen it grow massively. We were one of just a handful of centres back in those early days – and this year, we’re one of 50 throughout the UK!

Title: Young Rewired State Manchester – 2012
Location: MadLab
Description: YRS is an annual hack week in August for young developers across the country to go and build visualisations, digital and/or non-digital products using government data, alongside working devs in businesses across the UK.
Start Date: 06-08-2012
End Date: 09-08-2012

The event in 2012 runs from the 6th to the 12th August. During that week businesses, small and large, around the country act as hosts to local young people, YRS alumni, Rewired State mentors and other volunteers. A challenge is set to build digital products: mobile and web, using at least one piece of open data.
It is free for every child to enter so long as they are aged 18 or under and have a rudimentary understanding of programming — although we do send out free resources in advance of the week for those who are unsure of their skills.
Young Rewired State is an initiative to give developers aged under 18 the chance to meet, share and build applications. MadLab has been the host to the summer YRS in both 2010, and 2011 - here are some photos from YRS 2011. Whatever your level or experience, If you are aged under 18 and into coding, then come and meet like-minds.
There will be plenty of chance to demo projects and share stories – please make sure you let us and your parents know you are coming.
