<p>Please use this link to register to join the virtual Deploy Solutions Citizen Science Design Hackathon on 23rd -26th November. The event will start at 4:00 pm EST on 23rd November and will end in the night before midnight EST time on Saturday 26th November, so you can attend during the hours that work for you. You can spend as many or as few hours designing as you wish during this period.</p><h1>Project Overview</h1><p><em>We are in the design and development phase of a new climate change-related citizen science web prototype (related to "UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts"). The prototype will be a mobile-friendly website that allows citizens to take and submit photos and other “ground truth” observations to the Trusted Authorities, during /after floods. This information can be used to help the authorities assess and predict the flood or disaster’s scope and impact. </em></p><p>Citizen science is scientific research conducted in whole or part by amateur or professional scientists. It involves public participation in research whose outcomes advance public understanding of science/climate change disasters.  </p><p>The observations made by the citizen scientist will be uploaded on the website and “Trusted Authorities” – (People or persons who will be managing the disasters – first responders, government disaster officials etc) will be able to review and make informed decisions. </p><h1>Your Design Contributions</h1><p>We’re looking for design ideas that include such things as colour schemes, header and footers, menus, system alerts, and stylings. You can use the design tools of your choice.  We will announce the precise Design Challenge at our Kickoff meeting on Wednesday Nov 23 at 4pm EST. </p><h1>Code of Conduct and Design Submission</h1><p>Each team can have a maximum of 4 participants. </p><p>As a condition of your participation in the hackathon, you agree to grant us the right to publish and use this information under a permissive open license the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike International License, version 4.0 or greater.
