Thank you for the wonderful response! We have loads of support and congratulations coming in! All we ask is to stay together and join in the hackathon and share your ideas to make the community and world a better place. Now, the third and final challenge in our hackathon this year.

Challenge 3/3 is themed Bridging the Digital Skill Gap.
It is a well-known fact that education systems around the world aren’t built to the same standard and not everyone has equal access to and opportunity for education. The effects of this are noticeable through-out the lives of these people. It leads to poor economic choices, unaffordability of basic needs as food, water and shelter, and the effects are seen in the next generations too. Digitization of systems around the world keeps under-developed regions from catching up with the more developed regions. To make humanity progress in unity, it is an important factor to consider developing skills and enable people to make better life-choices, where the same standard of skills is applied everywhere.

So, how can we train people to cross the digital skills gap?
This challenge helps firms in search of people skilled in specific areas to find the right people, train them and employ them. It solves a multitude of problems based on unemployment, socio-economic growth and not the least, bridges the skill gap of people from various parts of the world. The solutions would relate to the goals Quality Education and Decent Work and Economic Growth, numbers 4 and 8.

The event will be held at BounceSpace, Eindhoven on September 21 and 22. Register yourself for the event at -

Good morning hackers! The details for the next challenge is out.

Challenge 2/3 is themed Sports and Technology.
How can we combine sports and technology to furthur mental and physical resilience?

It is a fact: people want to have a healthier lifestyle but don’t have a lot of time for such activities. So, why don’t we leverage that to engage people with sports while at the same time reducing mental problems like depression and burn-out? Technology allows us to track progress and reach a lot of people very easily, and people trust them.

In this part, I’ll give you some tips. First, you should look at gamification : this is the best way to make sports engaging and fun and remove the ‘chore’ aspect of it. Second, if you’re looking for a market, you should look at companies : it costs a lot of money to lose someone both in terms of productivity and money because of depression or burn-out. So, focusing on this market is very relevant.

This challenge is about finding inexpensive methods to motivate employees and people in general to include their physical well-being as an important part of their routine. This is a minor step to a great impact. Through health and nutrition, we can educate and spread awareness on sustainable lifestyle choices.

A 2 day Hackathon to solve social challenges regarding Diversity and Inclusivity, Sports and Technology or the digital skill gap

30/08/2019

As promised, here it is.

We are most enthusiastic about this years Hack Global Goals hackathon. This socio-technical event is to bring people like-minded people together. The focus is on solving tasks based challenges which are within the scope of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals. Firms can participate by sponsoring the challenges and setting the tasks. The results are then available to be converted into projects.

Challenge 1/3 is themed Diversity and Inclusivity.

With the world becoming a global village, diversity at the workplace is common. Often, cultural differences are seen to be barriers in effective communication. Technical and administrative discussions, negotiations, interviews are just a few examples where cultural diversity plays a significant role in deciding the approach and outcome. The social aspect of diversity relates to building a bond outside of your workplace. Diversity has so many forms and shapes like in economic, social, academic and religious. We need to be able to overcome all these boundaries and still be able to build amicable bonds with other human beings. A culture of exclusive inclusivity is on the rise where people just have so many ‘options’ in terms of activities and people, that compassion and support for one another seems to have taken a dive.

Therefore, the major question is: how can we leverage technology to bring people together?
This challenge relates to finding strategic and technological solutions that can be implemented in organizations or in our everyday lives to bring people closer together and break barriers of any sort. The aim is to make work people together to boost productivity while maintaining good work relationships. The solutions would relate to the goals Good Health and Well-Being, Gender Equality and Reduced Inequalities, Sustainable Development Goals 3, 5 and 10.
