Our world is more digitally connected than ever before, yet barriers still remain for the half of the world’s population who are unconnected.
The Chapterthon is a global Internet Society Chapters marathon, where all Internet Society Chapters can participate by developing a project within a timeline and budget to achieve a common goal for the development of the Internet. Each project will present a 3-minute video that includes project specifics and benefits for the community. Winning projects receive a prize.
For 2019, Chapterthon projects will help with Connecting the Unconnected. The Internet for everyone, including every last person on the planet, and we won’t rest until each person has the option of choosing to be connected.
Want to take part in this challenge?
We are looking for creative, innovative, and impactful short-term projects from our Chapters and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that are for the community, with the community, by the community.
