Gaga for tech —
Gaga is no stranger to the tech world, particularly when it intersects with her art. The former creative director for Polaroid famously shot her most recent music video on an iPhone 11 Pro.
This promo benefits IBM’s code challenge, which generally focuses on climate change solutions with a particular interest in natural disaster response lately. This year, the challenge pivots to COVID-19 in an effort to inspire innovation amid the pandemic. Developers will have to move quickly since the top three solutions will be announced on May 5.
