WeCanDo

Inspiration

COVID-19 has affected lives worldwide. There are various problems that have occurred in different sectors. Everyone needs to contribute their best to provide solutions. This hackathon is itself an inspiration for me to understand problems that people are facing in Iceland and do my bit to solve them.

I came across situation recently where I needed to repair my laptop. Due to lock down most of the service centers were closed. I got no help for 3 days and my work was outstanding. Then I came to know that my neighbor was a hardware engineer and she helped me to fix my laptop. I realized I could do something to know what skills people nearby me have. Helping each other out with our expertise would help the community and the country at large.
