About BFG 2024

After our environmental edition in June, we are back with another round of Build for Good to address any public good problem! This time, we are working with the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO) to foster co-creation and collaboration between government agencies and citizens. We are also bringing in mentors from OGP and Better.sg to support the teams in their hackathon journey!

Join us in building solutions to address issues that matter to you, be it healthcare, elderly support, education, and more.

Programme Timeline

Build for Good will consist of two phases - hackathon and accelerator. The hackathon will run from 28 Aug to 28 Sep 2024, comprising a kickoff session, four weekly sessions, and a finale. In between these sessions, builders are free to continue working on their projects in their own time.

Do note that all sessions are compulsory and held in-person only so as to maximise the builders’ experience.

• Builders’ Kickoff: 28 Aug (Wed), 7-9.30pm

• Weekly session 1: 31 Aug (Sat), 10am-3pm

• Weekly session 2: 7 Sep (Sat), 10am-3pm

• Weekly session 3: 14 Sep (Sat), 10am-4pm

• User testing session: 18 Sep (Wed), 7-9.30pm

• Weekly session 4: 21 Sep (Sat), 10am-4pm

• Finale: 28 Sep (Sat), 10am-5pm

Winning teams will then move on to the second phase, a 8-week accelerator programme, after the hackathon.

Problem Areas

The above problem areas are identified based on the 700 problem statements we crowdsourced from citizens last year. Builders may still work on problems that are not mentioned above, as long as they are public good problems.
