Scotland’s Environment EcoHack!
Scotland’s Environment Web wants to help people discover and understand more about the environment. We are looking for fresh new innovative ideas to make better use of available data, to collect new local environmental data that can help further our understanding, and encourage people to get interested and get involved in Scotland’s Environment – observing, monitoring, taking action, and educating.
Scotland’s Environment Web is holding a Hackathon with prizes for :
- Innovative data mash ups to explore new data relationships to help analyse the state of our environment and the impact it has on us
- Infographics, visualisations and games using data to help explain environmental issues and/or view ‘my environment’
- Prototype designs for new data collection and data entry equipment/apps
The team are initially interested to hear from students at or starting University interested in the environment, gaming, app development, graphic design, product development, data analysis. Please pass this on to those you think might be interested!
The event is free to attend and we are looking for people to register as an individual, they’ll have the chance to team up at the event.
