Hack for Humanity is an expression that has become world-renowned, where people around the world go in search of new solutions to try to help in some way the problems of humanity, using in their favor the power of technology and of the digital age. [1]

This expression began because of the hackatons made with this ideology of helping humanity. In the hackathon people from different countries and cultures came together to create technological solutions and initiatives that could contribute to the social good, addressing local and global issues, needs and challenges. [2]

Collective intelligence

Collective intelligence is a concept based on the sharing of ideas, the collaboration of individuals in the midst of diversity. It is a way of valuing individual capacities, jutando what the human being has of most powerful, the intelligence. It is distributed everywhere, in the community, since nobody knows everything, but everyone knows something that complements the knowledge of the other. [3]

In an organization, you can use all of this potential to solve problems, innovate in products and services, and even improve the organizational climate. For this there are tools that can help in this mission, such as crowdsourcing, for example. Crowdsourcing is a model that uses this collective intelligence precisely to create content, solutions and development for products, processes and services, as well as generate flow of information for the company. [4]

In the case of Hackathon, it is not the crowdsourcing that is used. But collective intelligence perfectly describes the purpose of this event, which is to gather and unite people, share knowledge and create new ideas or products.

Hackathon

The term Hackathon comes from the combination of the English words "hack" (programming with expertise) and "marathon" (marathon). [5]

Hackathon is an event that brings together entrepreneurs, passionate about technology and sustainability. The main targets of hackathons are programmers and other professionals connected to the software development area to perform a programming marathon, where the main objective is to develop a software or prototype that meets a specific purpose or free projects that are innovative and usable. [6]

The scheduling marathon usually has a maximum durability of one week. It varies a lot from each hackathon, but can last between a day or a week.

These events encourage people to participate not only in the importance of the event itself, but also to offer prizes, opportunities to meet other professionals in the field, participate in a collaborative project and network.

Principles

Hackathons create a unique opportunity to connect with humanity, using values ​​as the basis. They are based on seven basic principles: [7]

  • Compassion
  • Integrity
  • Kindness
  • Respect
  • Forgiveness
  • Empathy
  • Self-reflection

Hackathons Events

Hacks for Humanity is a term and not a single project. There are several Hacks for Humanity projects spread all over the world.


Space Apps Challenge Hackathon

The Space Apps Challenge hackathon is promoted by NASA (North American Space Agency). The first edition occurred in the year 2012. [8]

Space Apps is an international hackathon that takes place in 48 hours in cities around the world. Encoders, scientists, designers, storytellers, manufacturers, builders, technologists and all space enthusiasts come together to meet the challenges faced on Earth and in space.

NYUAD International Hackathon

NYUAD Hackathon is a 36-hour "programming marathon". The first year of its launch was in 2011. It is attended by computer science professors, founders of startups, technology professionals and even venture capitalists from around the world and gather at the University of New York in Abu Dhabi to lead teams of Science Students of computing to create mobile and Web applications related to a variety of fields such as health, education, film, music, business and science, all for the social good in the Arab world. [19] This event provides an opportunity for students from the Arab world to experience the full cycle of creating a technology startup.

Held on the NYUAD campus, the three-day hackathon begins with an orientation session and "Lectures on APIs" and then moves on to brainstorming sessions and team selections by the end of Day 1. In the next two days, teams will develop their applications, and the event concludes with teams presenting their applications to a panel of experts at a public event at NYUAD Conference Center.


Hacks 4 Humanity

The so-called Hackathon 4 Humanity is held at Arizona State University. It is a 36-hour programming marathon and asks participants to create technology solutions and initiatives that meet the needs of humanity, with the seven principles of the "Humanity 101" movement in mind: compassion, empathy, forgiveness, integrity, kindness, respect and self-reflection. [20]

They organize themselves in groups of 1 to 5 people and, using the sponsored library of APIs, open source data and other contributed resources, spend the entire weekend creating applications. In the end the applications are presented to a panel of judges who will choose from 3 to 5 major projects that will receive sponsored prizes.

Important Projects

BeeBox

The BeeBox was developed in 2017 at the Space Apps Challenge Hackathon by a group of Brazilians from Impacta Tecnologia Faculdade, located in São Paulo. The national stage was in Curitiba and they competed in a category called "Migratory Travel and Travel Stories". [21]

The BeeBox is a program that facilitates the fight against the extinction of bees, because the lack of knowledge about procedures with hives, ends up causing the destruction of their habitat. Thus, the BeeBox allows the citizen to report regions that have large numbers of bees, making it possible to track and map the climatic conditions in which they are inserted. From there, a web page indicates places with similar conditions, gathering data for scientific analysis and supporting beekeepers and local government in order to help a possible reallocation of the hives, so that the bees can breed. [22]


Hiat

Hiat was also developed in 2017 at NYUAD International Hackathon and was developed by a group of six students.

Hiat is an application that connects qualified refugees and the local community. It is the first gig-economy platform [23], helping vulnerable populations find safe jobs, overcome the language barrier, and access viable payment solutions. [24]

The idea of ​​Hiat came from the fact that the situation was very bleak for most Syrian refugees, for example. In Turkey, they are forced to work long hours in precarious conditions, discriminated against because they can not speak the native language and receive less than half the minimum wage. Because they are not hired, wages are usually not paid on time or in full, and they do not have support channels through government. [25]


ARK Humanity

ARKHumanity was developed at Hacks 4 Humanity at Arizona State University (ASU). The hackathon was organized by ASU Project Humanities. ARKHumanity is a mechanism designed to capture Twitter-specific tweets using keywords used by people in crisis that suggest suicidal thoughts. [26] In this way the person is allowed to know in a respectful way that there are people who care about her and that these people want to help her. This is an innovative technology that allows trained volunteers and behavioral health professionals to reach more people in crisis. [27]
