Zoohackathon Finland
Hack the Zoo!
Or, better still, hack at the zoo. Korkeasaari Zoo and U.S. Embassy in Helsinki are proud to host the first ever Zoohackathon in Finland and in the Nordics.
The Zoohackathon is a computer coding and technology intensive event that brings together developers, designers, project managers, and subject matter experts to create applications, systems, and tools to help reduce demand for trafficked wildlife products. Even if wildlife trafficking does not seem like the most obvious topic to be addressed in Finland, we cannot imagine a place where you would find better technological expertise and innovative, maybe even a bit crazy outside-the-box ideas. Besides, this is not a normal hack. Korkeasaari will provide some inspiring behind the scenes activities for breaks throughout the days and you will be coding right next to brown bears.
