List of hackathons about blockchain in 2018

Solving the problems of running successful elections in Emerging Economies We are organising a Hackathon to bring together bright, determined people to help hack the problem of running successful Elections in emerging economies; using the Nigerian elections which come up in 2019 as a focal point. There are numerous technological, ethical, economic and political questions which can be answered by focusing on this theme, and we are looking to explore and address questions such as: 1. Elections are driven by political campaigns, which are dependent significantly on the availability of Big Data and its analysis. In what ways can Big Data be used to ensure fairness in the election process?   2. Elections are significantly affected by social media and the ability to decipher what is real from what is fake. What innovative solutions can we come up with to look into this challenge? 3. Elections are affected by how they are perceived, and the ability to show transparency and hence win credibility. Who can we provide innovative solutions in this space? 4. Elections involve disparate parties including international monitoring organisations who are in need of better ways to gather information and verify Election results. How can we improve the process? 5. In recent times severe allegations have been made about elections being influenced by nation states and corporations. Are there ways in which we can use technology to reduce the impact of external parties in the elections of emerging economies?   6. In recent times, Blockchain technology has gained a lot of traction, but asides building a currency around it, to what extent can Blockchain technology be used to assist the electoral process in results verification? In what ways can blockchain technology be explored in the elections of emerging countries, particularly in the 2019 general elections in Nigeria?

The focus of this hackathon is NEO, a platform designed to build scalable networks of decentralized applications. The NEO ecosystem is much more than just a cryptocurrency. It relies on the NEP5 smart token framework, which provides a standardized workflow for application development. The blockchain has evolved considerably since the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008. Having started as a system for recording cryptocurrency transactions, it has become a comprehensive framework for managing data. The applications are practically unlimited. From data science to IoT products, the blockchain is being used almost everywhere. At Neo Camp 2018, participants will be challenged with using the NEO platform to build real-world products that solve problems for users. New concepts will be explored. Prototypes will be developed. And everyone will benefit from working on the products of the future in a fun, collaborative environment.
