Hackathon
● Problem Identification & Relevance: During typhoons, earthquakes, and other disasters,
power outages leave communities in the dark, affecting communication and survival
efforts.
● Innovation & Creativity: Develop portable solar-powered emergency kits that include a
foldable solar panel, power bank, LED light, and hand-crank radio for communication.
● Feasibility & Scalability: Can be produced in bulk and sold to households, local
governments, and relief organizations.
● Impact & SDG Alignment: Supports SDG 7 (Affordable & Clean Energy) and SDG 11
(Sustainable Cities & Communities).
● Example: SolarSafe provides compact, solar-powered survival kits that help families stay
connected and safe during prolonged power outages.
● Innovation & Creativity: Develop biodegradable food containers and packaging made
from pressed banana leaves and cornstarch-based materials.
● Feasibility & Scalability: Can be produced in bulk and supplied to restaurants, cafes, and
grocery stores.
● Impact & SDG Alignment: Supports SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production)
and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).
● Problem Identification & Relevance: Many coffee brands rely on imported beans, leaving
local farmers struggling to compete in the market.
● Innovation & Creativity: A premium coffee brand that sources beans directly from
small-scale local farmers and uses eco-friendly packaging.
● Feasibility & Scalability: Can start with a single product line and expand to retail stores,
coffee shops, and online markets.
● Impact & SDG Alignment: Supports SDG 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth) and SDG
15 (Life on Land).
● Example: BeanBoost sells sustainably grown coffee, ensuring fair wages for farmers
while offering high-quality local brews to consumers.
