Activity overview
How is this program run?
This program is running online.
What will I do?
Join a global team of students from two other universities in Dubai and Israel in a hackathon for advancing a solution to a global problem. The teams competing in this challenge will experience an innovation and entrepreneurship "pitch" development, and their submitted presentations will be judged by industry experts from all three countries. Judges include members of Social Enterprise Council of NSW & ACT, EcoIT, Bluescope Steel, and UOW Alumni.
As a team, you will:
- Develop an innovating solution to the presented SDG challenge.
- Present your solution in a recorded presentation to the judges.
- Receive feedback on your idea, pitch, and presentation.
