Tinkering & Coding for the planet

This year, the different teams tried to find ways on how to contribute with code to better way of dealing with nature – and many crazy ideas came out:

One team developed the VRTR, an intelligent garbage collection robot, prototyped from scratch! The project CO2-Fahrzeuginfo helps you estimate your carbon footprint for planned itineraries. Another group focused on the use and processing of open data, to make knowledge easily accessible to everyone. With Parteiduell they created a challenging game that encourages discussion on politics. Try it out at www.parteiduell.de!

Communication and messenger services have kept many of the participants busy this year, resulting in three exciting projects:

The Political Infopoint aims to make information about Fridays for Future events centrally accessible by transferring information such as meeting points and event announcements from therefore specified telegram groups to a website accessible to everyone. The Social Hub team has been working on a problem that probably many know from everyday life: The multitude of apps for social media. The goal is to bundle and organise content from different applications.
