Virtual Hackaton "Innovating during Quarantine"
The Vitrual Hackathon ?Innovating during Quarantine? was a digital campaign created in light of the emergency detonated by the COVID19 epidemy in 2020. The Hackathon was led by the Technology Institute of the Americas (ITLA), the civil society organization Participación Ciudadana, the innovation lab InnovaLab RC, the ITC Chamber and the UN System in the Dominican Republic. This digital campaign took place during 4 days in which more than 60 citizens participated online by ideating and designing innovative digital tools that could mitigate the effect of the epidemic in the country. Three of the designed solutions were chosen to be prototyped and eventually further developed at a larger scale.
