In early June, 100 million Northern Americans put their health at-risk simply by breathing the outside air. While this was an unprecedented event in this part of the world, it offered Americans a glimpse of what hundreds of millions of Indians, Pakistani and Chinese experience on a daily basis and what could become a regular occurrence around the world.
This is why we organized this hackathon. We want to bring brilliant minds in software and hardware together to save our air.
Will you be one of the 40 participants selected?
