The project I worked on was Global Citizen. A system where donations and fundraising towards specific goals were sent more directly and openly to the recipients. With a system that is transparent and more trustworthy, we hope to encourage more people to create and fund causes. Invested parties could be NGO's, government departments or even your neighbour setting up a cause and trying to raise awareness and money for it. By upholding such system, a more friendly and public view of fundraising to help others is created. This positive feedback loop “utilizes” the idea of “One for all, all for one”, that the individual should act in the interest of the public and vice versa. The direct gain for the parties invested in upholding the network should not have to be monetary based only but could also be societal or environmental. Prime examples could be the slaughters in Nigeria, the burnings of the Amazon or a local tree that needs to be removed for better traffic visibility. There is more value out in the world other than money. Global Citizen was a full stack development project. Because the hackathon was only 1 day, the IBM team prepared some useful tools for us. We first had to create a front-end for users and organizations to create, fund and query donation projects. This was done using Node-Red which is a flow-based development tool for visual programming. The website was hosted on a free IBM cloud account.
