After a delicious lunch from falafelicious the rest of the day will be spent with some hardcore work on our hacks ahead of tomorrows presentations.

Hacking has begun in earnest, we’ll be updating with some of the ideas soon

To kick off this mornings ideas sessions, the team are engaged in a rousing game of human bingo. Seeking out people across the different disciplines of the department so people can meet and find people to hack with.

Simon then following up with a talk about C.P. Scott our former editor’s essay ‘A Hundred Years’. Written to celebrate the centenary of the Guardian, the essay’s famous sentence ‘Comment is free, but facts are sacred’ has endured as the ultimate statement of values for a free press and one which continues to underpin the traditions of the Guardian newspaper today.

Away we go! Our Guardian Hack Day November 2015 begins...
