This year, the AI Hackathon festival will be expanding on the problems to solve beyond the five key environmental outcomes (AI for the Environment Report 2022) to include Kaitiakitanga, embracing our connection to the land and surrounding natural environment fulfilling our roles as custodians.
The problems to solve are based on the six key environmental outcomes (AI for the Environment Report 2022). They have expanded these to make them more relevant to all participants in 2024.
The cases are sourced from NGOs and citizen science groups to provide real problems to solve that are relevant to each location. These organisations provide subject matter expertise ahead of time and on the day. Participants are also welcome to bring their own problems to solve and we encourage early sharing of these ideas so we can help provide data sets and technology support.
Participants will learn new skills, create connections and make an impact. Check out last year’s highlights including the prize haul! Plus, every hacker receives a free t-shirt.
