WHAT?
The Teens in AI COVID-19 Global Hackathon is an opportunity for young people aged 12-24 and the wider machine learning community to join the global movement that drives social impact, with the aim of tackling some of the challenges related to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
We are encouraging young innovators around the world to build solutions using data science and machine learning technologies across a range of challenge areas.
WHY?
As COVID-19 has recently been declared as a pandemic, governments have issued guidance for members of the community to practice social distancing, while companies have enforced work from home policies in an effort to flatten the curve of viral infections across the population. Most schools are closed and young people are stuck indoors so why not invest some of your free time into making a difference to the world from home.
Given the isolation currently being experienced within communities right now, we want to create an online space where young people can ideate, experiment and build software solutions to help address this crisis.
