The hackathon is partnering with nonprofits worldwide to solve a wide range of their technical challenges, from applications of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to system design, and much more. The problems to explore are diverse and intriguing, and the participants are expected to come up with innovative solutions that can be implemented by the nonprofits to scale their reach and impact.
