Global Shapers Oxford Hub
Oxford Hub
This was a weekend-long hackathon to create data-driven solutions and policy proposals to help the City of Oxford tackle specific problems that will arise in a post-COVID world.
​
Structured like a technology hackathon, the event created a space for collaboration and dialogue between students, professionals and the local government.

Our participants ranged from coders, policy analysts, social entrepreneusr, researchers to engaged members of the community!
