The “SDG#12 GAMIthon” is a 2-day student competition hosted at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (UST), using the framework of a hackathon to nurture participants to co-create fun and educational solutions through applying gamification in a sustainability context and bring the solutions into the Hong Kong community and beyond.
