GIPHY is a proud sponsor of this year’s PennApps hackathon! You can find our mentors there handing out GIPHY swag, helping teams with their projects and sharing info on how to use the GIPHY API. See below for information on this year’s theme!
“As disaster risk grows, families and communities need to become more resilient; that is, they must improve their ability to prepare for, absorb, and recover from extreme events. In this year’s PennApps “Hack-for-Resilience” route, hackers have the chance to help people do just that, by developing apps, tools, and other technologies to help at-risk families.
Examples could include hacks to help people better understand the risks they face, the potential or historical impacts of disaster, the benefits of risk-reduction measures or insurance, or how to improve preparedness.”
