What is SDG#12 GAMlthon?

The “SDG#12 GAMIthon” is one of the events of the 3-year Jockey Club Sustainable Campus Consumer Programme, aiming to promote responsible consumption and production. Using the framework of a hackathon, the core idea is to co-create fun and educational solutions through applying gamification in a sustainability context and bring the solutions into the Hong Kong community and beyond.

Being actively supported by the academia of the tertiary institutions and gaming consultancy in Hong Kong, the participants can gain valuable insights on the key issues on sustainability and gaming framework thus create a gaming product that appropriately delivers the message about doing more and better with less.
