HACKING FOR HUMANITY
Girls in Tech Presents: A Social Innovation Hackathon
Uniting to Solve SF Bay Area Challenges
It's that time of the year again!
Join the Girls in Tech, San Francisco chapter for our 3rd annual Hacking for Humanity hackathon. This year, we’re focusing on tackling topics that deal with local San Francisco/Bay Area issues such as (but not limited to) the following:
- Homelessness - Affordable Housing - Economic Disparity - Transportation
Hackathons exist to enable the rapid prototyping of a complex problem and provide a range of solutions in a short period of time. By hacking with us, we are aiming to think bigger for global change with tech, whilst also allowing impassioned women to engage in innovation and entrepreneurship within our tech ecosystem.
We are calling all women and men across the globe, including developers, designers, product developers, and entrepreneurs, plus businesses that want to embrace the idea of Social Innovation or initiatives that combine a positive mission with business.
This hackathon is beginner friendly and for participants new to coding or hackathons. However, any and all levels are welcome. You can come with your own team (no more than 5 per team). No team? No problem - we'll figure that out for you. Form a team, solve a problem, create something awesome, present it to the audience and win prizes!
Register now to participate as a Hacker! Your ticket includes meals/brainfood for both days.
Prizes:
1st place: $1,500

The Mission

We hope that by doing so, you will receive the most realistic picture on the current state of the industry in a way you have never experienced before. No more fluff, you will be engaged.

GS1 US Trace-a-thon
19 Oct - 09:00 AM
San Francisco, United States
Join GS1 US in San Francisco and use disruptive technologies to create solutions to critical supply chain issues as they relate to visibility and traceability. The winning team of the hackathon will win $10,000, and several teams will win part of the $20,000 prize pool! Join us on October 19th-20th and create solutions that not only solve traceability issues in the supply chain, but also bring more visibility to the life of a product as it goes from creation, to production to consumption.
GS1 US Hackathon
19 Oct - 08:00 AM
San Francisco, United States
Consumers want the full story of the products they purchase. Traceability and transparency are essential to building trust!
The Hackathon
More and more, consumers are demanding access to the full story of the products they purchase and are expecting a new level of transparency from brands and retailers. For brands, traceability is essential to building trust with consumers, and it also enables quick responses to recalls or issues at any point in the supply chain.
When and where were the ingredients or components of a product created? Did sensitive ingredients or components experience unsafe temperature fluctuations? What supply chain path did this product take? Is this product being recalled and how quickly can the brand react? Were regulatory and compliance requirements met? The answers to these and similar questions can only be determined with accurate, verified data that is traceable along the entire supply chain.
These demands have created new challenges for companies of all sizes from a wide variety of industries including retail, healthcare, transport and logistics, and food service.
The Challenge
For this hackathon, how can you use technology to create solutions that address critical supply chain issues related to visibility and traceability? How do we make the supply chain more visible, take advantage of the data generated, and ensure that data can be trusted and shared from start to finish? End to end supply chain visibility requires technology interoperability to ensure solution choice and to avoid vendor lock in, and GS1 Standards exists to facilitate interoperability. As such, solutions should focus on leveraging the GS1 system of standards to solve challenges like:
Engagement of upstream supply chain partners (growers, fishermen, raw material manufacturers) with limited technical capability and connectivity
Temperature and other environmental condition monitoring
Product transformation traceability
Manufacturing regulatory and standard practice compliance attestations
Creating a mechanism that finds and connects all the parties involved in a supply chain path, since not all parties may even be aware of one another
Technologies such as (but not limited to) blockchain, AI, and ML may be leveraged to build an innovative solution that brings visibility to the supply chain and makes traceability easy and simple for the consumer or business. Your solution should document the various stages a product goes through in the supply chain, from the average commercial fishermen with limited technology experience to the large corporations with sophisticated ERP systems. The solution must demonstrate interoperability capability.
Developers with skills in supply chain application development, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain, and various coding languages such as JSON, XML, JavaScript and others who are interested in solving these problems are invited to a fun and challenging hackathon in San Francisco on October 19th and 20th. You will be provided with resources and support from mentors from various industries to help you create solutions that can help solve the traceability issues in supply chains, as well as bring more visibility to the life of a product as it goes from creation, to production to consumption.
The Prizes
The Challenge is endowed with a $20,000 prize pool:
1st Prize: $10,0002nd Prize: $4,0003rd Prize: $2,000
Additional category prizes will also be awarded. Projects that win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place are NOT eligible to win the category prizes. Categories are most innovative, best use of technology, and best presentation. All prizes will be divided equally between each member of the winning Team.
Most Innovative: $1,000Best Use of Technology: $1,000Best Presentation: $1,000Random Drawing for All Qualified Solutions: $1,000
