METEOHACK

About the Hackathon
Over a weekend in July, developers, data scientists, technology professionals, researchers, experts, academics and weather data enthusiasts came together to explore the near-universal influence of environmental factors like weather and climate on Canadians. METEOHACK, organized by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), had participants explore the presented challenges using the data collected and generated by ECCC-MSC. This hackathon was all about showcasing the power of earth-science data and finding new applications and solutions to fight climate change.&nbsp;
