Event Invitation: Bengaluru Climate Hackathon

[Vaidya]

Hello all,

OpenCity.in invites you to the "Bengaluru Climate Hackathon".

About the event:

• To collate data from a range of sources (including ones which are typically not collected by city agencies frequently, but are essential for measuring key outcome indicators) for a few selected climate action KPIs for the city (derived from BCAP). Examples - emissions, public transport usage etc.

• To analyse data to measure the outcomes of the selected KPIs to track the progress of climate actions implemented in the city.

• To visualize the measured outcomes in a user-friendly interface, which could be plugged into existing CAC-MER dashboards (if any)

When:
August 23rd, 2025, Saturday,

10 AM - 5 PM.

Where:
It is a physical event.
Location: BLR Design Centre, Church St, Bengaluru - 01

Who can participate:

Anyone with an interest in public problem solving is welcome. Knowledge of programming, data analysis, visualisation, GIS, designing websites would be very helpful.

Expectations from Participants:
The hackathon is expected to seed the climate dashboard by developing 5-6 widgets as proof of concepts. Each team is expected to develop one widget which can be embedded in the final dashboard. Given that the dashboard is expected to remain current, the participants are encouraged to use publicly available data that is regularly/periodically updated.
