1st Place: Have Sea, Will Swim<\/h2>\n

Inspired by the huge rise in the number of people sea swimming in Ireland, this project prototyped an app that identifies swimming spots using geo-location and uses Eart Observation data to let people know about hazzards like shallow rocks. It also allows swimmers to input data on hazards like jellyfish and algae blooms. The plan for the project is to expand to a dashboard for councils to monitor congestion, amenity requirements, water quality and more at their local beaches.<\/p>\n

2nd & 3rd Place: GreenAttributes and Promenade<\/h2>\n

Our judges allotted equal points to teams Promenade and Green Attributes, who therefore unexpectedly tied for 2nd and 3rd place!<\/p>\n

GreenAttributes uses Earth observation data to define the quality and attributes of green spaces, allowing urban planners, researchers, and industry to make better decisions. Promenade encourages people to stay active and enjoy the outdoors by building customised local routes based on the user\u2019s inputs including wheelchair use.<\/p>\n

Congratulations & Thank You!<\/h2>\n

Congratulations to all our teams, who worked so hard all weekend and delivered truly interesting, relevent responses to the Digitising Green Spaces challenge. We would also like to thank our partners MTU and BCO for helping with outreach for this hackathon, and Blacknight for sponsorship and promotion.<\/p>\n

Our teams were aided by a series of workshops and mentoring sessions. Mary Carty led a key session on Green Business using real-world examples of space data use to help participants focus their ideas and ambitions. Dr Maire O Sullivan delivered a valuable hour on pitching to the judges, complete with a sample pitch deck for participants to use.<\/p>\n
