Website: https://animalhack.org/ Discord: https://discord.gg/ZBbTxuxND2 Email: [email protected] AnimalHack is a student-organized hackathon for anyone who interacts with any animals - including pets, service animals, farm animals and wild animals. We were disappointed with the lack of international, open hackathons that focus on animals, so we started our own. AnimalHack is a platform that inspires you to think of needs, wants and challenges in interacting with animals. It is intended to help you ignite creative solutions (hacks) with technology and innovate human-animal relationships. AnimalHack welcomes anyone of all ages and all technical skills, from limited experience to advanced. Entry is free. Expected project topics include, but are not limited to: * Contributing to animal wellbeing * Assisting animal owners * Assisting animal adoptions * Monitoring, conserving and improving the environment around animals * Observing, tracing and protecting wild animals * Breeding, rearing/farming and harvesting animals * Managing nuisance issues with wildlife * Addressing animal abuse, cruelty and illegal capture/trade Solutions can take many different forms such as apps, games, social platforms, web sites/services, devices, robots, data collection/storage, data analysis/forecasts, data visualization, information retrieval, and 3-dimensional modeling/printing. AnimalHack is a “flexible” online hackathon. Participants can work on their projects anytime until the event starts. Each participant/team is required to submit a project presentation title and contact information by 6pm on September 9 (Sat), EST. AnimalHack will take place at 1pm on September 10 (Sun), EST. Each participant/team will deliver a project presentation (~10 minutes) online. Various awards are available. A panel of judges will select award winners at the end of the event. AnimalHack is hosted by Binnovative, a nonprofit organization in Massachusetts. Organizers: Yuma Karube (Co-chair) Yua Murakami Banri Ouchi Sarasa Ouchi (Co-chair) Hanna Suzuki Sougou Tojima
