COVID-19 has further changed our world and brought about new challenges to an already-troubled region, namely the Arab World. However, many agree that the COVID pandemic has been a wake-up call and has presented new opportunities to design a better world than what we had before. This hackathon, the first regional endeavor of its kind to address this global challenge, provides a space for young change-makers to innovate and prepare for a post-COVID world through collaboration and reinventing a sustainable future.
