Toby Beresford Brings the RISE Gamification Platform To The Hack

Toby will be joining us as a mentor and bringing his RISE gamification platform for participants to build ratings software (via API) to help us think about how to make UN membership more dynamic, and any other uses you can think of for it...

Rise (www.rise.global) is a gamified performance management (GPM) platform. Using Rise you can offer your players (whether individuals, companies or countries) rich, relevant and regular feedback to help them get better at what they do. Why not take a leaf out of the UNDP "Human Development Index" book and use sophisticated multi-metric scoring and a leaderboard to influence UN members and citizens? You can use the Rise API (http://docs.risedotglobal.apiary.io/) to send scores from your app, such as ratings, release, distribute and retrieve leaderboard results. You can even design custom themes for your leaderboard, so saving you vital time putting the project together. UN Influx teams have full access to all Rise data connectors and service features for their project so allowing teams to focus less on the technology and more on their objective. Rise engineers will be available before and during the event to help with training, technical issues and questions.
