FLUTTERFLOW Developer Group (FFDG) Manila facilitates its first FlutterFlow HackFest: Impact Challenge, a two-day hackathon designed to showcase what Filipinos can achieve with FlutterFlow and the impactful apps they can create for social good.
Using FlutterFlow, a powerful visual development platform, participants will have a unique opportunity to develop apps addressing global social challenges, furthering FFDG Manila’s mission to inspire one million Filipinos to join the tech industry by advancing their knowledge and skills in app development through FlutterFlow.
Empowering Filipinos to build for good
The goal of the FlutterFlow HackFest: Impact Challenge is to inspire Filipinos to leverage their creativity and innovation to solve real-world problems through technology.
By providing participants with the tools to build impactful apps, the event aims to strengthen the tech startup ecosystem. At the heart of the event is a two-day challenge, where teams will develop social impact apps aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
An example of how FlutterFlow can address urban challenges and support SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) is the Kaya App, created using FlutterFlow in 24 hours and winner of the Global Audience Award at FlutterFlow’s AI for Good Hackathon.
Kaya allows citizens to report issues such as traffic, waste management and infrastructure problems, directly connecting them with local authorities. This has been developed by the core team from FFDG Manila, including Shad Roi de la Cruz, Jhoenil Wahid, Von Payumo, Joshua Garcia and Hannah Mananguit.
Inspired by Kaya, participants in the FlutterFlow HackFest: Impact Challenge will have the chance to build their own solutions for social impact.
The FlutterFlow HackFest: Impact Challenge will provide 15 teams the chance to develop apps in just two days. Event highlights include mentorship from top enterprise partners, access to exclusive swags and P100,000 in prizes.
On day one, teams will meet at the Google Philippines office in BGC, where they will be introduced to FlutterFlow and SDG goals. Mentors will guide participants as they brainstorm and begin building their projects.
On day two, teams will finalize their projects, refine their pitches and present to a panel of judges. Winners will be selected based on impact, creativity, usability and alignment with the SDGs.
