World Challenge Finland 2018 with UN, NASA WorldWind and ESA

United Nations

Aug 2018 – Sep 2018 Helsinki Area, Finland

The World Challenge is a challenge to the world. The purpose is to bring the world closer together through innovative solutions that we each build and then collectively share with each other. Open source solutions serving your community needs, can then benefit every other city! Our team sent the “Smart Pollen Monitoring” web application a 3D web application facilitating a simulation of tree-pollen dispersal with routing functionality. (http://smartpollenmonitoring.info) As a result, we had been invited to the final round as the top 6 best projects. Finally, we had won the 2nd Prize Award & Best Collaboration Team Award.
