There are several challenges that we face in building a sustainable and secure future for tomorrow. OpenHack is an opportunity for coders to become tech-volunteers and contribute to the greater good. Attend OpenHack and take your chance to meet other inspiring participants as well as use your skills in cases that tackle humanitarian and social challenges. OpenHack was founded in 2015 and since then we've hosted hackathons with challenges from external partners like Röda korset, Sida, Läkare utan gränser and Unicef.

Participating in the hacking are people that are interested in programming, design or technical solutions and that are willing to dedicate 48 hours to try to build a solution or conceptual product that solves or partly solves one of the provided case issues (or a separate problem presented by themselves). Participants will work in teams, with guidance from both the challenge contributor and technical experts.
