Together Vs. Virus Online Hackathon against COVID-19
Inspired by online hackathons against COVID-19 happening in Europe, a group of incubators, universities and organizations across Canada including faculty member Scott Mallory’s ISM Arts & Culture have come together to launch Together Vs. Virus for diverse people and innovators to develop ways to address challenges faced in our communities resulting from the pandemic.
People from all backgrounds are invited to work with others on creative solutions for topics including arts & culture; protection of risk groups; dissemination prevention; data & misinformation; economic impact; isolation & mental health; hospital & medical care; family & kids; education; home office & teamwork; crime reduction; support & solidarity; after the crisis and more. Technical know-how is not required, and participants represent a broad and diverse range of skills and perspectives.
Ways to participate include mentoring for projects, tackling and answering challenges, and proposing challenges. The three-day event includes presentations, how-to sessions, team-building, mentoring, updates, tech support, and pitches throughout each day, and offers morning energizers and evening DJ sets, concerts, and live-coding.
