OUR MISSION

We're meeting sustainability and water replenishment goals each hack

 

Your sponsorship moves acres into reforestation

  • We curate open source projects looking for contributors to build data driven decisions that help restore forests, creeks, rivers, and more. 
  • Students are looking to hack on meaningful projects, leveraging your tools helps them make impact quickly

  • We send you a report of the projects impacted in terms of acres of land and volume of water over the year

Hackathons can be a couple of hours, half day, or a full day.

What happens at a Hack?

Our team takes care of the event end to end
  1. Present conservation projects

    Give folks an overview of how tech is helping real time environmental conservation with projects, stacks, and other resources available to them. 
  2. Enablement on your tool

    Go through the use cases of using your tool during the hackathon. Some past use cases: containerization, AI Copilot, CI/CD, Multicloud infrastructure, Vulnerability remediation

  3. Pick teams and hack

    Participants break out based on the projects they choose and get connected to the organizations they're helping 

  4. Ship projects and prizes

    Various prizes given out on completion, accessibility, impact (acres and water replenished)
