Requirements

What to Build

 

Inspired by COP27, your task is to build a prototype for an application that strives to solve / raise awareness of a local or global environmental problem. It is intended to be an open problem.

 

You can participate in the competition without writing code (eg. use Figma or Wix), although judges will expect a better quality idea & execution.

 

Anything you build must be completely built during the period of the hackathon.

 

What to Submit

  • A short video submission (3-5 minutes) that pitches & demonstrates your application
  • Links to your code (GitHub repo) (if applicable)
  • Links to your live project / prototype (if applicable)
  • Any additional resources you would like to share
