Oct 23, 2024

Team Urban Utopians from BUET URP Batch 22 has won the title of National Champion at one of the largest hackathons in the world, the NASA International Space Apps Challenge 2024, Bangladesh Round. Out of over 450 competing teams, 9 were declared champions, with our team's innovative project, GeoAID, standing out for its impact and scientific approach. GeoAID addresses the critical issue of improper aid distribution in flood-affected areas, demonstrating how surrounding geographic features exacerbate this challenge. The project proposes a data-driven method for optimizing aid distribution and improving the delivery of resources to vulnerable communities. We congratulate Team Urban Utopians on this remarkable achievement and wish them continued success as they advance to the global rounds.
