Hack the climate for a sustainable future!
Hello Climate Hacker!
We hope that you enjoy building the solutions to save our planet (and to win prizes!). Just a few reminders:
-
Don't forget to submit your solution in time. And no worries if you didn't have time to complete some dev/tech things. The main part of submission is your video and a few sentences of supporting text. Just describe your idea (implemented or not) in the video!
-
Don't forget to mention Microsoft's technologies you used for your project: Azure, Power Platform, M365, etc. Visual Studio / VS Code also counts!

We have technical experts (coaches) waiting…
