VCSP e-Volunteering
event in early 2023: Developing a Land Tenure Reform
System for Mars Attention Young Surveyors everywhere!
The VCSP are planning to host an
online a two-week hackathon-style event in early 2023
that focuses on allowing individuals to get together
into groups to work on the development of a
(hypothetical) Land Tenure Reform System for Mars. In
our event, we have a (creative imaginary) scenario where
Martians will be willing to allow humans to share their
planet, but both parties need to reach an agreement for
cohabitation to work. Event participants can work as
individuals or be teams and will work remotely during
this event to achieve a common goal. With exciting
updates provided every second day to further the
scenario and keep you thinking, this proves to be a fun,
engaging and innovating global event.
