Code for Mexico City
Code for Mexico City is an initiative implemented by the City Lab with the objective of promoting the use of technologies to solve everyday problems. This public contest had two editions. During the first edition, a public call was issued to grant scholarships to young people specialized in technological issues. During the second edition, a hackathon was organized with the objective of improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of Mexico City. The hackathon was implemented on the basis of 8 challenges for which participants designed and presented technological solutions.
