What is #CallForCode?

 

Call for Code is a multi-year initiative with commitment from IBM for the association of 5 years. It is a rallying cry to the developers to use their skills and mastery of the latest technologies to create long-lasting change across the world. In this second annual Call for Code Challenge, the theme is natural disaster preparedness and relief in the context of community health and well-being. To quote from the official website :

…the 2019 Call for Code Global Challenge again asks developers to create solutions that significantly improve preparedness for natural disasters and accelerate relief when they hit. We call on developers to create practical, effective, and high-quality applications based on cloud, data, and artificial intelligence that can have both an immediate and lasting impact…

In 2018, IBM hosted the Code City Challenges in the locations including Amsterdam, Bengaluru, Berlin, Delhi, Dubai, London, Paris, Sao Paulo, Kerala, Bayamón, Tel Aviv, New York and San Francisco. A similar arrangement is expected this year too.

 

Why developers should participate?

 

Call for Code 2019

Work for natural disasters preparedness is a chance to serve mankind. It becomes of greater satisfaction when the winner project will be deployed with the help from the organizers, like the project of 2018 utilizing LoRa deployed Project OWL in real life. Their floating rubber ducks with hardware inside made a networked cluster to cover a large geographical area. Call for Code is a great chance for the developers to connect within themselves, test own ideas and increase experience. Some potential ideas are written on the official website for this year:

  1. Alerting pharmacies to increase their stocks of antibiotics, insulin, bottled water, and vaccines based on predicted weather-related disruptions.
  2. Employing analytics to predict the impact of disasters and educate communities on how to prepare for impending threats.
  3. Using visual recognition to assess the impact of a disaster and accelerate response, reducing time to build back better.
  4. Improving the efficiency, accountability, and resiliency of supply chains through blockchain technology.
  5. Identifying and aiding people with reduced or restricted mobility who require special assistance (disabled, hospitalized, elderly, confined).

 

Norms and Deadline

 

29th July 2019 is the last date and this is the webpage for registration. Teams are needed to be created at the discretion of individual participants with no more than five individuals.

IBM technologies which can help in building solutions (from our website)

 

Call for Code 2019 second

In the recent past, we have published multiple guides to demonstrate the usage of IBM Watson IoT with ESP32. Our GitHub project can be looked for example codes to connect ESP32 with IBM Watson IoT. ESP32 SoC consumes less energy on deep sleep. Developers can look at previous year’s winner, runner-up projects and ideas on IBM developer website:

  1. Winner project
  2. Runner up projects
  3. IBM developer website with more ideas, videos

We have shown a basic example of using Watson Visual Recognition with ESP32. If your project uses IoT then you may route through Node-RED.

Visit IBM’s website on Call for Code for more resources.

 

Conclusion

 

Call for Code is a global initiative with a humane clause which definitely needs appreciation and the initiative in 2018 actually caught serious attention in social media. We wanted to keep our readers and developers updated providing basic information and link to official websites as our website in recent past discussed some of the technologies required for the projects.
