How to enter

You’ll have the freedom to create a hack that addresses some of the problems the world is constantly pressed with. The only limit to this challenge is your imagination. 

Hacks can be mobile, websites, software or hardware applications.

With that in mind, your solution could go from small projects like an app that recognizes who rang your doorbell, to big endeavors like using blockchain to bridge the information gap between patients and doctors…and anything in between! Just think about a problem you find interesting, and build a solution.
