2025 IWN Hackathon

💧 IWN 2025 Hackathon: Gamify to Modify

Following the tremendous success of the inaugural 2024 Hackathon, the IWN 2025 Hackathon is officially GO!
This year’s theme is “Gamify to Modify” — using a publicly available digital metering dataset to design digital products that influence water use.

Challenge:
How might we modify consumer behaviour through gamified digital meter data.

We’re calling on one epic team from each water utility to create a proof-of-concept digital product that could change the way customers think about water.
