Earlier in March, we announced the Open Seventeen 2020 challenge<\/a>. We invited everyone to submit a pitch on Goodwall, explaining how they plan to use AI and crowdsourcing to solve one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later, news of the Covid-19 pandemic made headlines around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite that, you all rose to the challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the organizers for the Open 17 challenge, Goodwall was able to collect hundreds of ideas through the app\u2019s easy 30-second video pitch feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this were a typical contest, we might\u2019ve been delayed because of the lockdown and quarantine announcements. We might have had less participants as students shift their attention towards other worries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But thanks to our active community, we amassed a lot of unique and amazing ideas to predict landslides, improve food recycling, estimate river flows, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
