👋Hey Product Hunt, I’m Steven, I created The Climate Fixathon with @jpaulet and @ftxrc. In April J.P. and I, set up Impact Makers to bring together members of the tech community who want to help fix the climate. We quickly realised that while the desire to do something is there in abundance, it’s still difficult for most to get to the point where they take action to help prevent climate breakdown. The Climate Fixathon exists to motivate the tech community to act and fight climate change. It’s a 4-week online hackathon for individuals or teams to use their tech skills to build and launch projects intended to help with the climate emergency. It gets underway on 2nd August, ending on 30th August, and it’s open to everyone worldwide. Did I mention there are prizes? Any website, app or service that aims to help restore a safe climate for our planet is eligible to win one of our Fixathon awards and associated prizes. THE FIXATHON AWARDS 👁️ Awareness - Most likely to raise awareness of climate breakdown. 👊 Action - Most likely to help people take action against climate breakdown. 🛠️ Facilitation - Most likely to make climate breakdown related tech projects easier to create in the future. WHAT YOU CAN WIN 💰 Our 3 winning team will each receive $1,500 cash to spend. ➕ Free Egghead.io licenses ➕ Free Sketch licenses ➕ Free Kirby licenses ➕ Free Drawkit illustrations ➕ 100 trees planted by Offset Earth 💰Our 3 runner ups will each get $300 cash to spend. ➕ 25 trees planted by Offset Earth It’s also the first hackathon to be hosted on the new Makerlog Events platform https://getmakerlog.com/events The Fixathon is a non-profit event. We'd like to thank all our sponsors for making the prize fund possible. We can’t wait to see what all you amazing people from around the world make to help fix the climate. 🛠🌎 If anyone has a question about the Fixathon let us know!
