Google Cloud’s Data Solutions for Change “Visualize 2030” Challenge 2018 ($10,000 prize)
Deadline: September 30, 2018
Applications are open for the Google Cloud’s Data Solutions for Change “Visualize 2030” Challenge 2018. Tell a data-driven story that reveals how at least two SDGs influence each other and what actions might be taken in order to reach those goals by 2030 to take part in the challenge.
In collaboration with the World Bank, the United Nations Foundation, and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, Google Cloud is hosting a data storytelling contest called Visualize 2030. If you’re a college or graduate student, this is your chance to make an impact on the global community.
From ending poverty to preserving biodiversity, The 2030 Agenda is made up of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that define a plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity. These goals seek to meaningfully transform three critical areas: ending poverty, helping society, and preserving the environment.
