Allow us to introduce you to Chalk Connect - an exciting strand of our Chalk Eastbourne network that provides a dedicated space for collaborative exploration and learning. If you’re a student or professional working in the digital, creative, or technology sector, come along to share your ideas, strengthen your skills, and expand your network.

A Shared Vision for Collaboration and Learning

Whether you're a seasoned tech pro, a student, or a coding enthusiast, Chalk Connect is your platform to build relationships, share insights, and explore opportunities.

Imagine cross-functional teams working together on projects that bridge the gap between coding and design. This is a space where ideas are exchanged, where professionals and students from diverse backgrounds come together to learn, share, and ignite their creative sparks. It’s all about collaborative exploration.

Future Events: Hackathons, Capture the Flag, and more

Chalk Connect is more than just a once-a-month gathering. Our vision extends to exciting events for the future. From hackathons that challenge participants to think outside the box to competitive Capture the Flag events that showcase cybersecurity skills, we're committed to providing avenues for growth, learning, and fun.

For Tech Enthusiasts, By Tech Enthusiasts

As with the wider Chalk Eastbourne community, you are at the heart of everything we do. We value your opinions and aspirations, so we'll encourage all participants to share their thoughts on what they want to achieve in the group - our first session will focus on this so we can shape the direction of Chalk Connect together, ensuring it remains a dynamic and relevant platform for all its attendees.
