Get Involved
Contribute as Participant
As a participant you will join a team of designers, developers, innovators, industry experts, project managers and individuals ready to step in and engineer announced challenges. With your team you will brainstorm and start sketching or building a prototype. All teams will receive guidance from highly skilled professionals and industry experts. In the final hours you will submit your solution to a jury, who will identify doable, scalable and impactful solutions to then support for further implementation. Want to be part of boosting the impact of EWB's international projects? Join us!
Help out as Mentor
To provide the participants with the best possible resources, we need mentors. As a mentor, you will be assigned a team to guide, either through scheduled checkpoints or just with supportive input throughout the event (minimum time commitment is 2h in total). Additionally, each mentor will be able to act as a response-mentor and respond to questions from any team via the event platform’s chat-forum. If you are a subject matter expert, project manager or got hackathon experience which can help out, join us, and help the participants with their mission!
Be part of the Jury
In order to bring forth the best suitable submissions to further continue developing them, we need jury members. As a jury member, you will spend 1-3h reviewing submissions at the end of the 42h weekend-event. You will be part of a jury-group consisting of subject matter experts, key partner representatives and project-owners. Industry- and subject matter experts, we need you!
