VERSO HACK 2023: Innovative Ideas Abound at Student Hackathon
Over 100 students ages 13-18 years from 35 schools across Thailand participated at VERSO HACK 2023, a student hackathon held at VERSO International School during 4-5 February 2023.
This year’s challenge question was on “How might we create products and services to encourage conscious consumerism to reduce waste and create a positive impact in the areas of fashion, tourism, and food waste/pollution”.
Students spent 2 days putting together some very impressive and inspiring presentations, pitches, and prototypes and presented them in front of a panel of judges, showcasing their hard work and commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
