Structure

Each Climate Risk Challenge is structured based on country, university, and team. As an example: SustainableAfrica / ClimateRiskChallenge / Nigeria / Lagos University / Team A

Commitment to Open-Source & Creation of a Public Good for Africa

Each team must agree to develop their solution/model using an open source license such as Apache 2.0. Due to the prizes involved, teams will initially work in private repositories. Once the winners of a Challenge are announced, all repositories associated with a given challenge will be made public for the benefit of all Africans.

GitHub Access

Particpants will need to obtain a GitHub ID. Access to your team's GitHub repository will be based on GitHub ID.

Accessing AWS Cloud Resources

Thank You, AWS, for your generous donation!

Each team will be given a project team identifier in GitHub (e.g., challenge-teamX). Once your team members' GitHub usernames are attached to that team, they can access cloud resources using OpenDataHub

For information on how to use Open Data Hub, please visit ODH's website
