We will dive into real-world challenges in the urban food cycle, from soil to harvest to table to toilet and back to the soil. Challenges are opportunities for innovation and creative solutions. We will explore new applications of existing and appropriate technology, creating local human scale solution in an industrial world.
The aim is to produce a working prototype within the time frame of the Hackathon. The prototype may be serve as a starting point for further development with your team, a challenge owner or sponsor.
All projects will be showcased on the Mindhoven website, where it will get exposure and opportunities may develop to bring your design “to market”.
There will be prizes to win, either in cash or in-kind.
