General structure of the hackathon

The ImpactXchange hackathon is divided into two closely linked parts.

Sustainability Challenge hack

In the Sustainability Challenge hack, you will innovate and develop working software-based solutions for the sustainability theme selected for the hackathon. The outcome of this hack will be used as the basis for the second week's activities. You will be restricted to a particular technology stack so that the activities in the second week are possible. In the first week, the emphasis is more on a sustainability challenge level (what are the high-level impacts of your solution)

Green Coding hack

In the Green Coding hack, you will focus on the implementation quality of your solution, i.e., its technical and environmental sustainability (what are the solution-level impacts).
