About this event
Humanity has never needed as much creativity and innovation as it does now—nor as much cross-collaboration amongst community members. Making progress on addressing Climate Change will require the majority of business leaders to join governments, policymakers, nonprofits, and ordinary people in contributing to a dramatic reduction in waste in the valley.
This Hackathon is all about collaboration and ideation. Teams will be formed, introduced to a challenge statement, and get hacking. Through a process called Design Thinking, solutions and prototypes can come alive in a matter of hours.
During the Hackathon, participants will be working to address this challenge statement:
How might we accelerate our region to become a Zero Waste Valley by 2030?
