Combining digital trickery with lesser-known parts of Leeds, CheckIn CheckOff is an ambitious project that wants people to see the potential in both the under-appreciated parts of the world of technology, as well as of the city itself.
Its main aim is to use technology to explore the city, whilst uncovering some of the hidden gems in Leeds. We know that Leeds Digital Festival will be home to some of the most exciting projects that the UK has to offer, and we hope to underline the role that the city itself has played in fostering this success.
Teams of between four and five people will need smartphones, basic mobile web knowledge, a QR code scanner and warm, practical clothing. The three to four hour course is largely being kept secret until closer to the time, and key areas will only be revealed when participants get their assignment at the starting point.
Ultimately, we want to inspire people to work with us in future, or move forward in their own unique way. This is an alpha project - we hope to undertake beta testing in the next few months, or even skip to version 1.0. What we do know is that there are many digital doors to open, and we hope to take a peek behind a few of them with CheckIn CheckOff.
This event is for over 18s only and includes a location based hunt and after party at a secret Leeds location.
