BuildforCOVID19 針對武漢肺炎的線上黑客松－觀察筆記

因為網路，讓恐慌加速擴散，也讓資訊更為透明。現在，既然 #WFH，全球連線，共創共享。

每個國家或地區面對的挑戰維度與難度不盡相同，從急迫需求的防疫應急、社會平等與經濟紓困、到較為長遠的數位轉型，包括教育和娛樂模式改變。

#BuildforCOVID19 線上黑客松，由許多社群網路公司合作，包括 Facebook, Giphy, Microsoft, Pinterest, Slack, TikTok, Twitter and WeChat 等，邀請挑戰的主題有七個面向：

Health: Address and scale a range of health initiatives, including preventative/hygiene behaviors (especially for at-risk countries and populations), supporting frontline health workers, scaling telemedicine, contact tracing/containment strategies, treatment and diagnosis development.
Vulnerable Populations: The set of problems facing the elderly and the immuno-compromised, such as access to meals and groceries, and supporting those who are losing jobs and income.
Businesses: The set of problems that businesses are facing to stay afloat, collaborate effectively, and move parts of their business online.
Community: Promoting connection to friends, family, and neighbors to combat social isolation and the digitizing of public services for local governments.
Education: Alternative learning environments and tools for students, teachers, and entire school systems.
Entertainment: Alternatives to traditional forms of entertainment that can keep the talent and audiences safe and healthy.
Other: The above themes are just suggestions. Feel empowered to get creative!
