Please describe your proposed solution
This Hackathons mission is to drive innovation within the Cardano community by focusing on the intersection of blockchain and science.
We will host a Hackathon focused exclusively on scientific applications.
This two-day hackathon will be held in a city with DeSci and Cardano ecosystem ties established with the goal of leveraging and then advanging these communities. It will allow for in person as well as virtual participation.
The hackathon aims to engage with developers; it will be structured so devs with no science experience can easily contribute. Scientists will be able to engage before the event to present ideas or be part of project teams to guide the creation of useful solutions developed.
This event aims to build decentralised science applications on Cardano, enhancing both the blockchain's capabilities and its scientific applications.
<u>Who Will Benefit</u>
- Developers: Gain hands-on experience building scientific applications on Cardano.
- Scientists: Access to blockchain technology to enhance their research and applications.
- Cardano Community: Strengthened by innovative projects that expand the blockchain’s capabilities.
<u>Demonstrating Impact</u>
- Hackathon Success: A successful two-day event with tangible projects developed on the Cardano platform.
- Long Term Goal: Foster a community of developers and scientists actively using Cardano for innovative scientific solutions and continue supporting hackathon projects through the MuseMatrix program
<u>Strategy</u>
- Engage with a Major Event: Aligning our hackathon with a major Cardano event will boost participation and visibility.
- Hybrid Participation Model: Ensures wider reach by accommodating remote and in-person participants.
- Prizes and Incentives: Attractive prizes will motivate high-quality project submissions and attract talent from the developer and scientific communities.
We will seek community input on the location. Ideally, it should coincide with an upcoming Cardano event to maximize in-person attendance.
