    The Blockchain for Social Impact Coalition (BSIC) will host a month-long virtual hackathon from September 7th, 2017 through October 7th, 2017.  During the hackathon, members of the BSIC will provide guidance and contextual support to participating teams, whose aim will be to build proof-of-concept solutions in the following four categories:

    • Financial Inclusion
    • Supply Chain
    • Identity & Vulnerable Populations
    • Energy & Environment

    The event will give developers a unique opportunity to test their skills in blockchain, and to tap into BSIC members’ expert knowledge and contextual support so that participating teams can fully understand the real world problems they are working to solve. 

    Participants will also gain access to a range of technical, humanitarian, and business mentors to help with all aspects of their projects. Localized events are planned, too, so that the teams can collaborate on projects with mentors and BSIC members in person.  

    A post-hackathon conference will be held where teams will pitch their proof-of-concepts to partner organizations and potential investors in an effort to get funding that will enable them to further develop their solutions.

    The BSIC is implementing this model in the hopes of shifting economic and social paradigms through blockchain technology...     learn more: https://www.ethnews.com/events/blockchain-for-social-impact-coalition-to-hold-virtual-hackathon
