Agri-Water Hackathon 2026
The Agri-Water Hackathon 2026 is a three-day event organised by Ruhr University Bochum and WASCAL, and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space. It brings together participants from diverse backgrounds to explore the application of remote sensing and low-cost sensor technology to real-world challenges in agriculture, water management, and the environment. Teams work hands-on with tools such as QGIS, Google Earth Engine, and Arduino-based sensors to create a project concept that will be pitched at the online closure session.
Welcome to the Agri-Water Hackathon 2026 Online Course!
This course is your preparation for the Agri-Water Hackathon 2026, where you will work in an interdisciplinary team to tackle real-world challenges in agriculture and water management using cutting-edge technology.
To make the most of the three hackathon days in Nyankpala, this course introduces you to the two core methods you will be working with: low-cost sensors and remote sensing. By the time you arrive, all participants will have the same foundation to dive into core hackathon confidence.
Please complete this course before the core hackathon starts on 14 April.
Looking forward to seeing you!
