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?
