CLIMACTIC - climate change for local communities - Govhack 2018 entry
The seductive lure of govhack enticed me yet again with its promise of deep crust pizza, tepid black coffee, and room ripened with that bouquet, that whiff of highly intelligent people crammed into a small space without that somewhat staple requisite – fresh air. How could that be missed??? Goodbye children, goodbye wife, hello to my annual pilgrimage, to my weekend sojourn, to my second life.
EOS BLOCKCHAIN HACKATHON
solving business problems using a creative voice
WHY
was asked why I have been focusing on participating in hackathons with a focus on social impact last year and this. I thought about it for a while. Did I want to answer in terms of what we had been doing or why we were doing it? This this was my response.
An event that was two days in its execution but many months in the planning provided fourteen eager teams, Westpac and its partners a unique and fruitful opportunity to have a glimpse of future, a view of the art of the possible, perhaps sometimes improbable with Blockchain.
