Organized by SAP Next-Gen, a purpose-driven innovation community that is an outgrowth of the SAP University Alliances program, the hackathon gave students the opportunity to apply their knowledge using advanced technologies like SAP Cloud Platform and SAPUI5, as well as design thinking, to develop applications in a time-critical environment.

We were dispersed in 5 teams each of which had a challenge assigned.

Our challenge was:

SDG #8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Challenge: How might we make construction sites a more fun place to work especially for young people?
Provided by Landlog, a Japan-based joint venture of Komatsu, SAP, docomo, and optim, that provides an open IoT platform to accelerate the pace of innovation in construction production processes.

We came up with Level Up in Construction, an app that gamifies routine work-related tasks to keep people engaged in their jobs
