🔧 What to Build

Let your creativity shine, but if you’re looking for inspiration, here are a few challenge areas you can explore:

• 🌾 Tech solutions for food deserts or water scarcity

• 🚚 Apps for supply chain resilience in remote or unstable regions

• 🤝 Systems that uplift marginalized and underserved communities

• 🏙️ Smart resource management for urban or rural "resource deserts"

• 🌱 Bio-hacks for drought-resistant agriculture

• 🆘 Emergency technologies for climate-driven migration zones

⚠️ Note: These are just suggestions! You are not required to follow them. We encourage original, impactful, and unconventional ideas — this is your chance to build something meaningful.
