:: FAQ ::
What will happen with my project/code after the hackathon?
All code produced during the Fixathon must be open-source. That includes that you or anyone can make a fork of the code to continue working on it.
Can I come and work on my own project?
No, for the Fixathon you'll have to join other people or go solo on one of the challenges. In case your project solves one of the challenges, contact organizer Arthur here.
What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed by the United Nations to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all." They address global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
