Summary:
Manish Arora, professor with CPDM, said that this year participants comprise a mix of design students, entrepreneurs, pourakarmikas and street vendors. One of the interesting aspects of this hackathon is that it brings on board the people involved in the problem – in this case, street vendors. The event will focus on waste generated by street food vendors. But is it possible to engineer a better design to tackle how we manage our waste? Over the next few days, they will identify a problem and come up with a prototype to fix it..
