It has been Build for a few years since the last season. This time we surrounded a slightly different approval. Intostead of Startups, we focus on the opening class now Go Build CTO Fellows. Nine technological leaders from social impact organizations who solve some of the most difficult problems of humanity.
These are builders working in the field of disasters, regions unwrapped in climate and communities around the world. They show every day that when you give intelligent people access to good data, the right tools and expertise of domain, they can create excessive effects forever.
Today we respond the first episode in a series of five parts that represents each of the colleagues and the work Ding. The remaining episodes will be issued in the coming weeks with a focus on crisis mapping, AI and open data, food security and strengthening community position. All episodes will be available on all distributed things and on YouTube.
Let it be a challenge to action. If you are built, your skills are needed. If the organization is working on global challenges, there are tools for strengthening your impact. Let’s work together and put the technology in the hands of those who need it most.
Now go build!

Episode 2: Crisis Mapping
Many mapping services map only parts of this world that are commercially interests. Many parts of the world remain mapped, which may mean the difference between life and death at the time of the crisis. Petya from the OpenStreetMap and Ola Help.ngo team is changing it.
