Hack-Earth

Description Hack-Earth is a sustainability-driven innovation challenge where students, creators, and beginners come together to build real solutions for climate resilience, environmental protection, and sustainable technology. Whether you're a coder, designer, researcher, or completely new to hackathons, this event provides you with mentorship and resources to help you bring your ideas to life. Participants will compete for prizes by creating innovative projects that address environmental challenges through technology, creativity, and problem-solving. About the Challenge Hack-Earth challenges participants to identify and solve a pressing environmental problem using technology of their choice—whether that's AI, data analytics, IoT, web/mobile apps, or any other innovative approach. You have complete freedom to choose the sustainability challenge you want to address and how you want to solve it. Potential Environmental Challenges to Explore (or create your own!) The world faces countless environmental challenges. Here are some areas you might consider, but feel free to think beyond this list:

Air Quality & Pollution: Real-time monitoring systems, pollution prediction, urban air quality solutions

Water Conservation & Quality: Contamination tracking, water usage optimization, clean water access

Climate Action & Carbon Reduction: Carbon footprint calculators, emission tracking, climate education tools

Wildlife & Biodiversity: Endangered species monitoring, habitat protection, ecosystem health tracking
