Introduction

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In September 2015, world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development
Goals or SDGs. The SDGs are the blueprint to achieve a better and more
sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including
those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation,
prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave
no one behind, it ís important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030.

From SDG Summer School to O17 Summer Challenge

The SDG Summer School is part of the many programs carried out by the Geneva
Tsinghua Initiative. It is all about team-based problem solving and hands-on
prototype development, going from a conception phase to producing practical
demos. All accepted participants receive intensive mentoring and coaching to
help transform their ideas into impactful projects, and become part of a global
community of civic innovators. The SDG Summer School also includes study visits
to and mini lectures from UN Agencies, International Organisations, NGOs and
other partnering organisations in Geneva.

The motivation of the SDG Summer School is for teams of university students, in
close collaboration with International Organizations in Geneva, to conceive ways
to use open data, crowdsourcing technologies, and low-cost open source
solutions to develop prototypes suitable for deployment and tackle sustainable
development, and ultimately to achieve concrete steps towards the SDGs, at a
local, regional or global level.

In the previous years, the SDG Summer School was a one to two-month long
program, held mainly in Geneva. This year, the SDG Summer School is going
fully online, merging with the OpenSeventeen program to offer coaching to
student projects all over the world.
Program Overview

Open Seventeen (O17) Coaching Program

O17 is a prize-backed, challenge-based, online interactive coaching programme that
supports and rewards teams developing innovative and implementable solutions for
the SDGs. It encourages grassroots public participation and citizen science through
the use of open data and crowdsourcing.

Coaching
Teams work in close collaboration with mentors and international experts to make
sure that the projects are concrete, achievable and relevant to the SDGs, whether at a
local, regional or global level. Other stakeholders may contribute, from both the
public and private sectors, civil society and academia.

Between sessions the teams complete homework and may have one-on-one
coaching calls. The goal of the coaching is to provide participants with CONTEXT
about the challenge and existing TOOLS necessary to transform good ideas into
viable projects.
O17 Summer Challenge 2020

‘Innovating For A Post-Pandemic World’

This Year’s Challenges
This year’s O17 Summer Challenge is inspired by the theme of INNOVATING FOR A
POST-PANDEMIC WORLD. How can young innovators, like yourself, use
CROWDSOURCING, OPEN DATA and LOW-COST OPEN SOURCE solutions to tackle
the COVID health crisis and the social, environmental and economic challenges that
the world will face in its aftermath?

Challenge 1- Frugal Medical Equipment for Covid

Challenge Mentor: CRI, University of Paris
How can makerspaces and fab labs around the world contribute to tackling the public
health challenge that Covid presents, in collaboration with hospitals and public
authorities? ( Note: this challenge requires access to a fablab )

Challenge 2- Crowdsourcing for Pandemic Research

Challenge Mentor: Citizen Cyberlab, University of Geneva
Huge amounts of data are being generated about COVID-19. How can simple
crowdsourcing techniques and citizen scientists of all ages extract valuable
information from this, and share the results with policy makers?

Challenge 3- Post-Pandemic Sustainability

Challenge Mentor: X-Lab, Tsinghua University
This option is for applicants who may already working on a project related to the
SDGs, which addresses environmental challenges and opportunities that may arise in
the aftermath of the pandemic
O17 Summer Challenge 2020

Challenge 4- Good Work Through Crowdsourcing

Challenge Mentor: GovLab, NYU
In the wake of the pandemic, as unemployment soars to never seen levels, how can
crowdsourcing help people find good work, help businesses create safer workplaces
and reduce anxiety and isolation among the unemployed.

Challenge 5- Caring for the Elderly

Challenge Mentor: Citizen Science Center Zurich, University of Zurich/ ETH Zurich
Assistive solutions for the mental health and well-being of elderly persons isolated
due to the pandemic, including ways to improve their capacity to leverage
technologies.

Challenge 6- Reinventing Remote Collaboration

technologies.
Weekly Thematics

Team-building and Methodology (Week 1)

As we are all new to the O17 Summer Challenge, let’s get to know each other a bit
better! At the same time, workshops with a focus on methodology will ensure you
could hit the ground running!

Goal: (i) to build project teams, where you would be able to complement each other in
terms of interest, skills and experience

(ii) to equip you with the necessary skills and methodology to excel in your project
and the O17 Summer Challenge deliverables

Testing The Methodology (Week 2)

Goal: (i) Going a little deeper into the methodology- What’s your Theory of Change?
Who are your Stakeholders? How do you give the perfect pitch?

(ii) start to introduce and connect you to the different international organizations,
institutions, startups and nonprofits in Geneva and internationally, and the work they
do, especially in the area of Innovating for the Post-Pandemic World.

Social Entrepreneurship (Week 3)

Now that you’re halfway through the O17 Summer Challenge, it’s time to think, what’s
next?

Goal: (i) start to think about/ build a business strategy for your project- planning &
strategizing & reaching out to the right people

(ii) connect and build synergies with other student-run projects that have moved on to
‘the next step’

Final Pitch & Planning For The Future (Week 4)

It’s the last push- You will need to finalize your prototype and group projects!

Goal: (i) to effectively present your project (in its final form) at the Final Pitch

SDG Tool Kit
The Kit comprises tools adapted from
existing Open Source solutions, that
can support a wide range of
crowdsourcing projects for the SDGs,
ranging from crowd-based data
collection and classification to
distributed volunteer computing to
project design and community
mapping tools.
The Summer School gathers a host of
solutions in one place and provides
pedagogical support to first-time
users. The tools are designed to be
able to quickly build and test a
crowdsourcing solution for the SDGs,
ideally without coding skills.

SDG in Progress – creating and
documenting crowdsourcing projects
The SDG in Progress platform allows all
innovators to document ongoing
projects, or to get inspired by other
people’s projects, re-use them or
re-purpose them. The platform is based
on Build in Progress, originally
developed by MIT Media Lab.
Compared to other documentation
platforms (wikis, Github, etc.), SDG in
Progress provides a highly visual
overview of how a project was
conceived, allowing for easy
documentation of the sort of branching
that naturally occurs in projects, where
different options are explored.

to:
SDG Market
SDG Market is an initiative to motivate
participation in crowdsourcing projects
for the SDGs, while at the same time
enforcing a robust consensus-based
distributed peer-review mechanism.
The current instantiation of SDG
Market is as a Developers Market
Application built on top of the GitHub
coding platform. GitHub repositories
can be listed as projects on SDG
Market.
http://blog.developers.market/
 Crowd Thinking with Crowd4SDG
Crowd4SDG is a web-based tool that
allows volunteers to collaborate on
solving complex data classification
tasks that automatic tools cannot
handle. It supports projects where
citizens can analyze or enrich existing
data, typically large sets of images or
texts, such as satellite pictures or social
media posts, as well as other media
formats such as videos and scanned
documents.
SDG CS Map
This CS map monitors online citizen
science participation in Europe. It was
developed by the University of Geneva
for the DIToS EU project. For
demonstration purposes, it currently
includes information on volunteers
activities from all projects active on the
Zooniverse platform, the iNaturalist
platform and volunteer computing
projects related to LHC@home. Based
on the open source data visualization
plugin Kibana, the platform will in future
allow participants of crowdsourcing
projects to visualize the activity of the
crowdsourcing project they are
contributing to, while respecting the
privacy of individual contributors.
Crowd Sensing with SDG Kobo
SDG Kobo is a data collection system
that enables the easy creation of
mobile phone apps for collecting data.
Typical use of such apps includes
taking geo-located images and adding
additional information (such as
selecting keywords about the image, or
answering related questions). Images
are then automatically uploaded on a
centrally-maintained database when
internet connection is available.
Crowd Computing - SDG@Home
SDG@home allows volunteers to
donate computational resources from
their desktop computers, laptops and
smartphones, for running SDG-related
simulations and machine learning
algorithms. Based on BOINC, an
open-source middleware for distributed
volunteer computing, the platform is
hosted at CERN, a partner of Citizen
Cyberlab, and takes advantage of the
experience from the development and
deployment undertaken by Citizen
Cyberlab for different generations of
CERN’s LHC@Home project, since
2004.
