About the hackathon

General

The Global NGO Executive Committee (GNEC) and its 1,600 subsidiaries have come together to host our first annual GNEC Hackathon! We encourage those passionate about engineering, technology, and programming to join this event to demonstrate their skills while competing for prizes such as internships and mentorships with our partners. 

Why Us

GNEC is well-connected to the UN and has a global network of NGOs. You can tap into this network during and after this hackathon.

Our partners will also host various workshops where they will teach new technological concepts while also offering insight into their mission and the work they have done. The workshops are a great opportunity to explore one’s interests and possible career paths. 

Theme

During the event, participants will have two weeks to work on a project addressing one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This could be anything ranging from an app or a website to creating a physical product or drafting a business plan.

Get started

Join our Discord server (https://discord.gg/n5pcCHcGC6) and meet with everyone else involved in the hackathon. You are welcome to make your own team but if you don't have teammates, our Discord server is a great place to look for a team. The opening ceremony will provide further information regarding the hackathon and the working period will commence shortly after. Be creative, make new friends, and above all, have fun!
