Argentina Hacks COVID-19
Argentina Hacks COVID-19 is a hackathon organized by the business sector, which seeks to develop digital solutions to the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic. The projects aim to help the population during quarantine, generate new forms of employability, develop technologies to support small and medium-sized companies, among others. The hackathon had more than 400 participants with different backgrounds, including programmers, graphic designers, project managers, sociologists, and health professionals. The three award winning projects were "Simplified digital banking", "National Network of Volunteering and Needy" and "Che Mandados", which got the chance to receive technical assistance from the staff of Argentina Hackea in applying for public financing in order to carry out the projects.
