The Net Zero Challenge Tech Camp -1

Two three-day Tech Camps will be organized at the NIC Peshawar. Collaborating with
NIC Peshawar, the Code for Pakistan team will oversee the Tech Camps procession.
Four groups (five students in a group) will participate in each Tech Camp. The experts
from NIC Peshawar and Code for Pakistan will facilitate the sessions and provide support
as required. These sessions would be delivered through dynamic, small-group, demo-driven formats. The first day of the camp will focus on building the capacity of participants
in the thematic areas of climate change, conflict resolution, and new technological
approaches to address climate-related challenges. On the second and third days, these
small working groups would be tasked with developing innovative ideas for solving the
identified challenges utilizing technology with support from technology experts.
Participants in these Tech Camps will discuss local challenges caused by climate change,
resource scarcity, and pollution, and then, will propose ideas and implement activities that
will help resolve these issues in their local communities. The Tech Camps will build
a deeper understanding among the participants of the role technology can play in real-world
challenges of climate change and create a network of KP youth committed to turning
ideas into action. Upon receiving the proposals for the pilot project from the student groups, NIC, in support
of The Asia Foundation, will assess and evaluate the proposals and provide support to
student groups with the proposals if needed. NIC and the Foundation will facilitate linking
them to government and private sector stakeholders. Seed grants of $2,000 will be
awarded to eight groups for the pilot project from the two Tech Camps.
