The Challenge
This hackathon is all about using your creativity to solve global problems! Your mission is to build a website that makes a difference.

Your website can:
- Educate others about a specific SDG.
- Share simple tips or advice on how we can all help make that goal happen.
- Create a fun, interactive experience that encourages action towards that goal.
Whether through a website or a game, your submission will be your way of contributing to a better future. Are you ready to make a change? The world is waiting for your ideas!
