<h2>📍 Nonprofits</h2> Three different nonprofits and their specific needs will be proposed as hackathon challenges, and teams can select one. Each challenge can have up to five teams competing.  Here are some information about the nonprofits and their current needs that will be addressed by developing OutSystems app that will make a difference: <h3>Nelson Mandela University Center for Community Technology (South Africa 🇿🇦)</h3> Our work is focused on the development of human potential and wellbeing, particularly in disadvantaged, vulnerable, and deep rural communities. Our tool towards achieving this is needs-driven smart technology,” says Professor Darelle van Greunen, Director of the Centre for Community Technologies (CCT) at Nelson Mandela University, describing their work. The CCT was established by van Greunen in 2014 to focus on information and communications technology (ICT) solutions that can play a catalytic role in solving everyday problems for people living in remote, financially stressed and under-serviced communities. Technology, and more specifically mobile technology, is playing a key and rapidly increasing role in facilitating community-level knowledge, health, connectivity, economic opportunities, access to infrastructure and services, and management of natural resources. The role of the CCT is to use technology and innovation to contribute to a more prosperous and inclusive society, to accelerate inclusive economic growth, and improve people’s everyday lives. The CCT engages with community members, particularly in South African townships and rural areas, to codesign technology solutions for everyday challenges in these communities so that technology becomes an enabler in their lives.  The CCT integrates transdisciplinary research and innovation with community engagement through the development and implementation of apps and other smart technologies that enable the advancement of education, health, rural and social development, particularly in low income communities. This is combined with training, networking, and policy analysis and advice. The CCT, which is part of the Faculty of Engineering, the Built Environment and Technology, is the only research unit at a South African university that specifically focuses on ICT solutions for Africa, by Africans, in Africa. <a href="https://cct.mandela.ac.za/" target="_blank">Webpage here</a> <h3>Strength United (Los Angeles, CA, USA 🇺🇸) </h3> We provide strength-based prevention and client-centered intervention services to survivors of all ages who have experienced child maltreatment, domestic violence, and sexual assault. StrengthUnited, a chartered center of California State University, Northridge (CSUN), has served the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys for over 30 years, supporting the most vulnerable members of our community at critical moments in their lives and providing prevention, intervention, and education in our community to address violence and abuse at the root. We help children, adults, and families live abuse-free lives.  Consequences of violence and trauma can include physical injury and other medical problems; mental health issues including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts; lost work productivity; loss of housing and financial security; long-term health consequences, and poor educational outcomes..  Through a groundbreaking multidisciplinary approach, StrengthUnited serves thousands of children and adults annually, free of charge. We provide 24/7 confidential support and response and help survivors of violence and abuse navigate the often-confusing array of different jurisdictions, departments, and service providers. StrengthUnited brings service partners including law enforcement, medical professionals, counselors, legal aid, and others together in one location, creating an experience that favors the needs of the survivor, rather than leaving them to navigate an often-hostile system alone. In 2019:<ul><li>more than 2,000 children and nearly 2,700 adults received direct services, including 262 families and more than 300 Foster Youth;</li><li>our hotline team responded to 1,100 emergency calls, and;</li><li>our Prevention and Education services team impacted nearly 45,000 individuals. <ul><li style="margin-left:20px">Prevention and Education efforts include community mobilization throughout the region, youth leadership development, and a wide variety of trainings and workshops, as well as CSUN’s Campus Care Advocates geared toward sexual violence on the university campus. Our specialized programs also address the needs of LGBTQIA+ Survivors and we provide resources in a variety of languages.</li></ul></li></ul><a href="https://www.csun.edu/eisner-education/strength-united" target="_blank">Webpage here</a> <h3>Zer0Hunger (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) </h3> Zer0Hunger is a platform created to systematically address hunger in Malaysia. Zer0Hunger is a social enterprise which was created to help try to solve the hunger problem by creating a platform to ride on existing commercial supply chains to fulfil relief operations especially with regards to food. This platform has two verticals (modules), one module to deliver food directly to vulnerable and a second module advocating for urban farming to create more sustainable outcomes for vulnerable.  <a href="https://www.zer0hunger.org/" target="_blank">Webpage here</a>

<h2>⭐  JURY</h2> The jury will be composed of various members with both tech and social impact knowledge. Members of the jury will be OutSystems technical experts, members of the nonprofit organisations, journalists and other experts. <img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/r63Ck8ynCdy2LOQ4X89of3iG8q_gWUTU4GHDmUIQVSc/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy8yOTgwZjY5MC02MjUyLTExZWItYWIwNy1hM2Y4MTQzYjViY2JTY3JlZW5zaG90IDIwMjEtMDEtMjkgYXQgMTYuNTAuMjkucG5n" style="width:825px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" />

Jury

After five weeks, during which the participants put their skills and hearts into their projects, the 15 teams finally unveiled their solutions. But only three were named the big winners.<h2> </h2><h2>  Food Delivery Platform for Zer0hunger</h2><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/GTFP0zmztyG3S7eDPC_4LuTkrquztUg3_yCXlAg1ktk/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9hYzliY2JhMC03ODQ1LTExZWItOWQ4Ny00YjE4MTZiMTNjMTZXaW5uZXIgemVyMGh1bmdlciAtIFBob2VuaXhEWC5wbmc" style="width:350px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" />Zer0hunger had a big challenge on their hands: they needed an efficient way to deliver food to those that needed it the most in Malaysia.  The team PhoenixDX Champions, from Australia, proposed a solution that would connect people that wanted to help those that needed help in a very direct and easy way -- and they succeeded.  PhoenixDX Champions focused their user experience on speed to enable a faster response to applicants. The solution called Digital Samaritan will allow Zer0hunger to scale their support without increasing their costs by raising donations, supporting more people in need, optimizing the logistics behind the whole process of food delivery, and decreasing the time needed to get to those requesting help.  Once in production, Digital Samaritan will work on both desktop and mobile versions, have multi-language support and integration with Facebook login. Integration with maps will show places where there are people in need and trigger the closest partners (non-governmental organizations) who can deliver the food to them. Apart from users and partners, the app is also designed to be accessed by donors and anyone that chooses to donate to this cause.  <h2> </h2><h2>  App to Support Cancer Patients for Center for Community Technologies  </h2><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/oBOYx7PfqT3TtfeRiSj4FtunKlJ6s4kZsn7BQZCSru0/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9mMDNkN2M1MC03ODQ1LTExZWItYmFlNS1iMTdkODU1MTZjMzJXaW5uZXJzIENDVCAtIEV2ZXJpcy5wbmc" style="width:350px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" />Cancer is a major concern worldwide, and South Africa is no exception. Yet, people from rural regions tend to ignore the already existing information and focus on the common fears and stigma prevalent across communities. That’s the problem the Center for Community Technologies brought to the Hackathon.  To solve it, the Everis Social Reload team focused on building an app that would:<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px"><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre">Clarify and inform about cancer</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre">Increase awareness</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre">Encourage the adoption of preventive behaviours and early diagnosis</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre">Help cope with the disease the best way possible</li></ul> Everis built a very visual, intuitive, and easy to understand user interface using gamification components: as the users go through the app journey and increase their awareness, a flower grows and blooms.  To make sure the app could also reach rural communities that don’t have the same access to the Internet as the urban areas, and given the language diversity of the country, the team included offline capabilities, multi-language options, and text-to-speech features.  The app also includes animated components that exemplify how users can examine their bodies and search for tangible symptoms. <h2> </h2><h2>    App to Help Survivors of Domestic Violence for Strength United</h2> <img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/jO_dQ55OnUhL_QEtvv6NjOsfkfuqbKziVhIua9lg44Y/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy8zZDU3MmZlMC03ODQ2LTExZWItYmFlNS1iMTdkODU1MTZjMzJXaW5uZXIgU3RyZW5ndGggVW5pdGVkIC0gRHJha2thci5wbmc" style="width:350px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" />Focused on supporting people of all ages that have been victims of child maltreatment, domestic violence, and sexual assault, Strength United was looking for a solution that would help them reach and connect with the community members that need their support.  The Drakkar PayItBack team proposed a solution to help survivors of domestic and peer violence reach out for help easily and safely. The team developed an app to be used by different stakeholders: victims can request help for themselves, but third-parties can also request help if they know someone that might be in danger.   The app operates with many useful resources like news and events where victims of violence can get the support and help they need. In the back office, the app also provides a great experience for volunteers who want to support Strength United and the survivors, and an easy management of applications and candidate screening.  Last but not least, users are able to use a chat feature and get directly in touch with the Strength United phone line (open 24/7) in case it is not safe for them to call. Also, the app has a distinctive panic button and quick exit in case it’s needed.  Drakkar’s solution is carefully thought out and provides just the right information and features in order to support and provide easy ways to help without being intrusive.  <h3>Honorable Mentions </h3>There were several other incredible projects developed during these five weeks. Although they didn’t take home the win, these three non-profit organizations will use some of the features proposed below to take the winning solutions to the next level. <img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/YumoyiARw4Cu_zXwYTXxJ0OYl6qfi0VXGnVTOL9-QZ0/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9kNjBjZDBhMC03ODQ2LTExZWItOWQ4Ny00YjE4MTZiMTNjMTZCZXN0IGRlbW8gLSBWYWx1Z2EucG5n" style="width:350px" class="fr-fic fr-dii" /><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/HjJ5aL6S4c67kiyHN-zhXKC52GasYJxWaN5xfDZKpjE/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9jMmNhMTcwMC03ODQ2LTExZWItOWQ4Ny00YjE4MTZiMTNjMTZUaGUgbW9zdCBpbm5vdmF0aXZlIHNvbHV0aW9uIC0gQm9vbC5wbmc" style="width:350px" class="fr-fic fr-dii" />

Inspired by the energy and determination of its developer community and the passion and commitment of its employees, OutSystems is committed to helping these community-minded organizations to build software that makes a difference and give them the power to innovate. The OutSystems Build for the Future Hackathon is a partnership with our developer community to create a set of applications that will help a small group of nonprofits more easily deliver services to those in need. The goal of the hackathon will be to develop applications for nonprofit organizations selected by OutSystems. The program will also provide free access to OutSystems enterprise-level software, for a minimum duration of one year, and cloud hosting offered by our partner AWS. Each of the nonprofits will present their use case, which will represent one hackathon challenge. Then, for five weeks with regular checkpoints, Q&amp;A sessions, and OutSystems support, teams will develop the solution for the challenges. Participation is limited to 15 teams (first come first served). Five teams for each of the three nonprofit organizations. Teams should be composed by members of the same OutSystems partner or customer organization. After the hackathon, the winning team will be able to continue working with the selected nonprofit and help them implement the solution developed through the hackathon!&nbsp; OutSystems partners and customers are invited to team up and participate in the hackathon. We want this hackathon to be a safe and positive experience for everyone&mdash;attendees, judges, and other participants.&nbsp; Read the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jrON2twgJO9K-gMKxeT1cwfvXZdqrJ4y/view?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Code of Conduct</a> for additional details.
