About the challenge
The hackathon is centered around the topic of a “greener and safer Earth”, in light of recent events pertaining to climate change, and the adverse effects it's had on the world, we thought it might be a good idea to help brew solutions to some of the problems in this area, by hosting a hackathon that lets participants think of ways to build solutions to problems that would make the Earth much safer and “greener” to live in.
Requirements
What to Build
Solutions that address environmental issues. The Earth is riddled with lots of environmental issues, making it more and more difficult to inhabit, each year.
