The new COVID-19 virus is testing our country, our society and us as citizens. Everything that was normal about our daily lives has been put on hold. Currently life, health, and jobs are threatened.
In this critical moment, our task is to work together to solve one of the biggest crises of our lifetime. Hack the Crisis is an online hackathon organized by DIGG, Hack for Sweden, Openhack and The Swedish Government.
The mission is to design, test and execute ideas for the future of Sweden and the world. We want to gather creative ideas and develop concepts in an attempt to create solutions helping us make further progress in the ongoing resistance.
This hackathon is an opportunity for all parts of society to contribute – public sector, private sector, academia, non-profit organizations and citizens, who want to join in the fight.
The hackathon will focus on three main challenges;
Save lives
Save communities
Save businesses
We are looking for and will award ideas, prototypes, and solutions in each of these three challenges that can make peoples' lives easier during the time of a pandemic.
To participate, you can register either as an individual or as a team, and submit your solution in one of the challenges. Gather your friends, colleagues, and family to register and contribute with your ideas.
The hackathon will be carried out 100% digitally. It will start on April 3rd at 15:00. A more detailed schedule will be released continuously – thank you for your patience.
We have overcome many pandemics before. We will overcome this one as well.
