Help Spread the Word & Win a $50 Gift Card!

Hello Climate Change-Makers,

Just T-8 days to the start of our hackathon... Who's pumped!?

We're very close to our registration goal, and as we make our final marketing push, we need some help from you! And if you do help, you can win a $50 gift card from an eco-friendly online store :)

How it Works:

  • Successfully refer a friend/ fellow innovator to sign up for Climate Change-Makers & make sure they put your name in when the registration asks them where they heard about our hackathon.
  • If you already recruited some friends, that's also great! Make sure to have them send us a quick note advising they heard about the hackathon from you @ theoatheproject@gmail.com.
  • Multiple entries possible: 1 entry for every person you refer... So if you successfully refer 5 people, that's five times the chance of winning! Keep in mind we'll likely cap registrations to 100 people.
  • And for the winner of our draw, we'll share it live during our intro session, Friday @ 6 PM EST!

And in case folks it helps to spread the word via social media, here's some graphics & a sample blurb:

  • Graphics: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m58i-C6T73KyPQYyyyCPtuah3iMn5B7p?usp=sharing (A few different versions available for different audiences)
  • Sample Blurb: Who's interested in building the next big climate change solution? I'm excited to take part in the #climatechangemakers hackathon next weekend, February 26-28, where folks from across the world are coming together to create, build & share innovations to address our climate crisis. There's up to $4,500 in gift cards available as prizes, and the event welcomes coders & non-coders, beginners & more experienced hackers, students & other youth... So, if you want to build some interesting innovations that can make a difference to our climate crisis, be sure to sign up & put in your registration that you heard about it from me: climatechangemakers.devpost.com!
