Problemattic Fixathon at 42 Lisboa

We are doing a hackathon in association with 42 Lisboa at their space on October 15th. This is your chance to work alongside other smart people contributing your skills towards projects that address societal issues.

We tackle big problems like wealth inequality, human trafficking, hunger & homelessness, sustainability and the prison industrial complex. For a complete list of issues visit Problemattic.app and join the forums to see what we've built at previous events.

This event is an all-day hackathon format in which we rapidly move through the process of problem pitching, project ideation, team formation, prototype construction and validation to implement game-changing projects that can put a real dent in these serious issues. Anyone can propose a problem or a project and participation is open to the public (provided you complete the onboarding steps prior to the event).

The first 15 participants to complete the onboarding steps (creating a profile, joining Discord and introducing self in forums) get an invitation to a special pre-event meet & greet dinner we're hosting on Wed the 12th at a nice restaurant. It's your opportunity to meet your potential teammates and start to figure out what problem you want to work on at the event.

Lunch at the hackathon on Saturday is provided to all participants courtesy of Pagely. We have startup mentors from Startup Lisboa, Canopy City & Beta-I joining us at lunch time to coach the teams. And we do a demo night at the conclusion of the day to show progress, give awards and have some celebratory beers. There is no better way to make meaningful relationships than contributing your skills in the pursuit of solving meaningful problems. If you want a flavor for what the event is all about watch Sean's Lightning Talk promoting the first event or read the recap post from our last event.

Participation is free but seats are limited to the first 35 people to RSVP and create their profile on Problemattic.app. If you have any questions please leave a comment below.
