How will Code4Change 2024-25 work?

There will be two themes for Code4Change 2024-25 - Youth Employability and Climate Resilience.
All those who register can choose one of the two themes for their problem statement.
The problem statements were developed in collaboration with our partner Social Purpose Organisations. Participants will engage with them through a webinar and receive their problem statement and dataset.
Participants will get 10 days to develop their solution and share it via email.
A panel of jury members will evaluate the solutions based on the originality of the idea and the feasibility of implementation.
The jury will then select the top five solutions. The shortlisted participants will be invited to present their data science solutions before eminent AI and sector experts.
They will receive certificates of participation from the jury during a day-long event.
