Using a range of data available on the City of Cape Town's Open Data Portal as well as provided specifically for this event, teams will grapple with the brief: “Design a digital product that improves the discoverability of unique experiences for tourists in Cape Town.”

According to the organisers, we can attract more people to different parts of Cape Town and support more small business and "last mile" providers by making information easier for digital travellers to find.
