Pix4D has launched its first ever Climate Contest

Lausanne, Switzerland: Photogrammetry software company Pix4D has launched its first ever Climate Contest. People from around the world are invited to submit a project which uses mapping to investigate or mitigate the climate crisis for the chance to win up to a $3,000USD cash prize and access to Pix4D software.


From tracking melting glaciers in rural Kyrgyzstan, to counting the cost of storm damaged crops in Puerto Rico, to mapping chimpanzee nests in Tanzania, Pix4D software and #dronesforgood is already helping scientists and citizens prepare to meet the climate crisis. The Pix4D Climate Contest offers changemakers support to get their project off the ground.

Interesting Neil, thanks for sharing. I'm not familiar with Pix4D, but certainly can get behind the concept of using mapping to investigate the climate crisis. 

I'm curious to know if any educators from this community have created projects of this type, or used mapping tools (Google Maps, MyMaps, Earth, Earth Engine, Tour Builder, or others) to address environmental issues or SDG's with students? If so I'd love to hear about it!
