InnoTech Law Hackathon Belt & Road Justice Challenge

Location: Hong Kong

FBE UG students are cordially invited to take part in the InnoTech Law Hackathon Belt & Road Justice Challenge as organized by The Law Society of Hong Kong on September 28, 2018 (Friday).

About the Challenge:

  • Participants will be asked to compete in a more focused, fast paced “hack” event to address problems arising from the theme of accessing justice in the Belt and Road region.
  • The competition format will take the form of a “mystery shopper exercise” – an innovative approach that should be the first for a law hackathon in Asia.
  • The problem scenario, background information, and preparation materials will be released to participants around 1 week before the competition “Demo Day”, and the participants will develop their tech solutions to be presented to the judging panel on September 28, 2018. Part of the assessment would be based on how the solutions handle a series of pre-set queries from the judges. Each team would only find out what these “secret” queries are on the day of the competition.

Eligibility:

  • Students of any background
  • Form into teams of 2 - 6 (1 or more members with basic coding or web development skills)
  • Hackathon first-timers are welcome
