HACKS4GOOD Hacks4Good Developers work on projects with social impact Hacks4Good is a 1.5 day hackathon supporting projects with social impact to find technical and financial aid. More than 250 developers will meet and support up to 10 projects in need of technical solutions (refugees, environmental, elderly care...). The developers will help the projects to prototype solutions for their given problems - e.g. a platform for refugees with "How-To..." for their administrative problems, environmental sensor grids etc. Finally, the projects will be established during August and September.
HACKS4GOOD Hacks4Good Developers work on projects with social impact To date, we have the following projects: Inviting refugees and helping them to master their daily life e.g. with an administrative wiki, visualisations/how-tos to know which form and which person is responsible for any given case, Freifunk (Wifi for everybody) an environmental sensor project for detecting BORKENBEFALL (BARK INFESTATION) and other insects There will be a funding sum of approx. 25,000 EUR from which the projects will benefit. 50% of the amount available will be given to the developers, who have the chance to decide which project should benefit from this sum. Thus, they may donate money to one project and donate 2 days of work-time to another. Another 50% will be given to winning projects chosen by a jury. The projects can use the award to pay the developers in order to finalize the prototype into a working project.
