Code for Venezuela SF Codeathon
Location: San Francisco
Code for Venezuela SF is a hackathon that will take place in San Francisco from April 12th through April 14th, 2019. We will host 50 participants locally and the event will also be open to remote participants.
Through this event, we want to leverage technology and tech talent towards solving real challenges presented by our partner organizations.
We also hope that this serves as a way to foster a community of individuals that are interested in using technology for social good and care about the current situation of Venezuela.
In order to work in projects that will have a direct impact and continuity after the event, we have partnered with institutions from Venezuela to create a set of challenges to work on during the event.
You can expect challenges in the following areas:
Using data to analyze, understand and communicate the Venezuelan crisis.
Digital products and platforms to connect the diaspora with the country.
Here is a glimpse of the challenges that we will be working on during the event:
Work with Dr. Julio Castro to detect and predict epidemic outbreaks using social media data.
Find find the most optimal way to distribute medicine supplies and humanitarian aid for Médicos por la Salud.
Neither Code for Venezuela nor our partner organization will retain ownership of your code. Finished work should be licensed under either Apache or MIT open source licenses so that it can continue to benefit the non-profits
