Welcome, Western Michigan University students!
Hope in the Zoo is a local solution challenge in the form of a 3-day hackathon that will take place from 19th to 21st December 2022. In alignment with our core value to support social good, we will be collaborating with Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes (KLF), the largest non-profit provider of food assistance in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This will be the first of many opportunities for you to solve real-world challenges provided by KLF, expand your portfolio, and further help their work.
In this Solution Challenge, you will have to choose one of the three tracks/challenges to solve which include:
1. How can you help improve KLF's supply chain? (More information: zip file)
2. How can you help improve KLF's inventory management system? (More information: zip file)
3. How can you help improve KLF's customer database? (More information: zip file)
