    Design, Prototype and Build solutions for climate action

    PWIT_Image_hacktahon1

    PWIT Hackathon was a 8-hour hackathon, focused on developing innovative tech solutions for climate change, with a special focus on:

    • Circular Economy;
    • Mobility;
    • Food Systems; 
    • Waste Management;
    • Extreme Weather.

    With a focus on teamwork, design thinking and prototyping, the PWIT Hackathon looked for women with innovative tech solutions for climate change. As a plus, each team was paired with a high school girl, so she could witness first-hand how to build tech products.

    The event was supported by ScaleUp Porto Call for Activities .
