Calling all creative thinkers … join the Building Community Hackathons series,”Changing Climate Change” and make a difference ~
With global warming in Southern Africa occurring at double the global average rate, the impacts of climate change are expected to have a devastating effect on the region – from reducing agricultural yield, drying up water sources, and increased risk of natural disasters such as fires and storms. Combating the impact of climate change is essential to maintain the health and safety of all and will require bright ideas and tech-driven solutions.
In addition to the hackathon, a virtual bootcamp will take place on Tuesday, 22 March to Friday, 25 March, for participants to learn more about prototyping, design thinking, sustainability and pitch practice. The team with the winning solution will have access to funding, mentoring and the infrastructure to make their idea come to life.
Emerging software developers, IT professionals, civil society organisations, academics and professionals in relevant fields of climate change and technology are encouraged to take part.
