Unleash Your Creativity for a Sustainable Future! 

Join our hackathon to rapidly prototype innovative solutions using GenAI tools like Google Vertex AI. Tackle one or more of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and showcase your ideas through cutting-edge demo applications.

The Idea

This Year’s Hackathon Theme: Innovate for a Sustainable Future 
Participants are challenged to develop a demo application that contributes to sustainable development by addressing one or more of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Let’s code with purpose and make a real impact!

 

The implementation

Harness the Power of GenAI for Rapid Innovation 
The goal of this hackathon is to leverage the transformative capabilities of GenAI tools, specifically Google Vertex AI, to rapidly prototype and bring innovative ideas to life. By using GenAI, we aim to push the boundaries of what’s possible, demonstrating how these advanced technologies can significantly accelerate the development process. Participants will explore the immense potential of GenAI to create impactful demo applications in any format, from web and mobile apps to hardware projects and data-driven solutions. This hackathon is not just about coding—it’s about pioneering the future of technology and sustainability.

Deliverables

Deliverables: From Concept to Final Pitch 
Teams are required to develop a prototype demo in any format. This could be a web app, mobile app, hardware project, game, chatbot, backend API, data-driven application, or similar project. 
Teams must also present their idea, implementation, and how they utilized the designated GenAI platform to develop their project during the final pitching session on Friday, November 22, in front of the jury. The presentation should be accompanied by a PowerPoint (PPT) file. 
All team materials (code, presentation) must be submitted to the jury before the pitching session. Please note that all access rights to the materials belong exclusively to the teams.
