Tomorrow, the hacking begins! Read carefully to get prepared.

Hello Climate Hacker!

 

We were all waiting for this day for so long! Tomorrow, 10:00 CEST we officially open the Climate Hackathon with a livestream kickoff session. Please, don’t forget to set a reminder for this stream on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiF40urwZjo&ab_channel=MacsimumAS

 

The recommended plan for you for the beginning of our event:

  1. Make sure that you are onboarded to our Teams - we’ll hold all communications there. If there are any difficulties with onboarding/access - please email ce@macsimum.no asap.

  2. Watch a livestream kickoff. It will last for around 1 hour and will contain much useful information to help you to win!

  3. Choose one of three challenges you want to go for. There will be short presentations about them during livestream + all information posted on this page: https://climatehackathon.devpost.com/details/challenges (there will be extra data access shared for some of them)

  4. Decide on your technical stack, and based on that book a session with our technical advisors. Here is their availability list. Book a session by just making the cell in the table red, and put your name inside it. When time for the meeting comes - just call (directly via Teams) a selected coach, they are all available in the General channel.

  5. Check General channel on Teams periodically - we’ll post important updates and announcements

  6. Build and submit* your solution within the deadline!

And a couple more things:

  • Don’t forget to take a photo of you and/or your team hacking! We’ll reward selected photos with cool Microsoft backpacks **

  • And every team that submitted a qualified solution (winning or not) will receive the same backpack**! (so you can easily get two of them :)

 

This is all for today. Let’s continue the discussion on Teams in the General channel! 

Good luck with building solutions to save our planet!

 

Your Hackathon Team :)
