This time, the competitors will be asked to generate solutions to provide more innovative displays of the Council’s ‘live’ air quality monitoring data.
The competition begins at 9am on Saturday, 20th September and will end at 6pm. A maximum of 30 people can take part, competing in teams of up to four people.
The second Bath: Hacked event follows the successful first Bath: Hacked competition held in March. It will take place at The Guild Co-working Hub, High Street, Bath and prizes will be awarded for innovation in various categories.
Councillor Paul Crossley (Lib-Dem, Southdown), Leader of Council, said: “This time, we are encouraging the most creative hi-tech minds in the area to produce innovative solutions for displaying our live air quality data.
“Following this, we will launch a re-designed air quality website within the B&NES Council website, with the live and historic data displayed within our Council template using the graphics and data display of the competition winner, if appropriate.”
The work is being funded by the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs, who will be taking a keen interest in the competition and hoping it will result in the creation of an improved air quality website.
Councillor David Dixon (Lib-Dem, Oldfield) , the Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods; Tom Lewis, Director of The Guild CiC, and Robin Spalding, the Council’s Senior Public Protection Officer (Environmental Monitoring), will judge the competition.
