Solve the SDGs by Junction and Aalto University

48 hours to save the world — join Junction, Aalto University and Aalto Ventures Program in hacking for a more sustainable future!
In the middle the text "Solve the SDGs" is written in a circle. Around it a soft, gradient background in blue, purple, light gray and light pink colors. At the bottom it says "48 hours to change the world" and on top are the logos of Aalto University, Aalto Ventures Program and Junction.

Even before Covid-19 crippled the world, we’ve been facing severe challenges regarding the well-being of the planet, ecosystem and humanity. Many of these challenges have been codified by the UN into Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs.

Solve the SDGs is a hackathon where we focus on solving these challenges. It’s a hackathon for people, who want to make a difference. For people, who don’t want to watch the world burn, but to save it.

It may seem like an insurmountable task. No one can do it alone, let alone in one weekend. But together with bright minds from all over the world, world-class mentors and sufficient data, we can take a step or two in the right direction. Because if not us, then who?

The hackathon is open for participants from all backgrounds; no prior hacking experience is necessary. We’re not looking for technical submissions only — anyone can play a part in solving these problems. As long as you’re a team player who thinks the world could be a better place, you’re more than welcome to join!
