Imagine and design solutions that use GIS, imagery information and other big data sources to shape a better future. Develop an application, platform or process that represents useful ways you envision technology will have a real world impact, in Austin, and beyond. Be creative! No problem is too big or too small.
Ideas to consider:
-
What kind of indicators and warnings exist to predict social unrest? (food, weather, crime, employment, health, education, etc)
-
Utilize Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to prevent social unrest.
-
What other new and growing technologies can you use to interpret and manipulate large data sets?
-
Can you create automated workflows that will reduce need for human analysis?
-
Analyze location data about large sporting events to improve planning and risk management (e.g., types and locations of services and support personnel)
-
Or anything else that inspires you!
