12-Week Create Kickoff
FaithTech Create 12 Waterloo
What if building technology wasn’t just about efficiency, profit, and scale, but about transforming your city?
FaithTech Create 12 is a 12-week, in-person experience where developers, designers, and product thinkers come together to eat, learn, and build. Together, we’ll wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus in our work and we'll create technology that advances the Kingdom of God.
Why Join?
Eat: Share a meal each week and grow in community with other builders who love Jesus and technology.
Learn: Explore a redemptive framework for building tech. Hear from seasoned practitioners, and discover tools like Lean Canvas, MVPs, and retros — all reimagined through the Gospel.
Build: Use your skills on a real project for a local nonprofit or ministry. Walk away with a working prototype that serves real people in Waterloo.
Expectations:
12 weeks, one evening per week (90 minutes)
Free to join (spots are limited)
Hackathon ― 24hr. hack on November 7-8 (7pm-7pm)
In-person only — community happens around the table
Attendance: We ask you to commit to at least 10 of the 12 weeks
Who’s it for?
Builders of all kinds: software developers, designers, product managers, and technologists who want to use their skills for something that actually matters.
👉 Reserve your spot today. Let’s build differently.
