What is the Call for Code Global Challenge?
Immediate sustainability actions are crucial to mitigate the dire consequences of climate change. To bring the most benefit, sustainable solutions should have a global reach while also empowering local communities, particularly those who are most affected by pollution and excluded from policymaking. Technology holds the key, as open innovation can effectively address sustainability challenges at scale.
Build your skills in emerging technologies while solving real-world sustainability challenges. Develop your solution and gain recognition within the Persistent and IBM communities with a chance to win USD $50K. As part of the 6th Annual Call for Code Global Challenge, design and build an open-source solution in the cloud to take on a sustainability issue. We’re calling on teams of developers and problem solvers to leverage open innovation and develop technology solutions that address specific global sustainability problems in unique, clearly demonstrable ways.
In addition to prizes, participants can grow their AI, cloud, and other emerging tech skills through access to expert technical mentors, training resources, and events.
