Hackathon: Technology vs Life - Sign Up for Hackers

Technology vs Life

Offcourse, Experimental Civics and Optimus Acorrro are hosting their very first hackathon "Technology vs Life" in the tech hub 42workspace in Rotterdam from the 21st to 23rd of September 2018. 

What is the problem we'd like to tackle?

This hackathon addresses the shortcomings of talent in 21st Century Skills on the current job market. 
Many people blame technology for the increase of unemployment, which could be true but is this generally the case? We believe that technology and it's developments are rather the solution to the shortcomings on the job market than the cause of it. Want to know more about the hackathon, read here. 

How can you contribute through participating?

We would like to contribute to decreasing the gap between the high demand for 21st Century Skills and not enough skilled talent from an individual, organisational and local perspective.

Accordingly we have created 3 challenges to decrease the gap. It's up to you and your team (matched with during the kick-off) to propose a possible solution.

No idea where to start?
