About the Hackathon
Hacking for Humanity at Columbia University will harness the diverse talent and resources of the campus community and beyond to solve pressing global challenges affecting people and the planet. Such solutions will leverage new technologies and span a broad range of industries.
For three days, students, alumni, and researchers from across the campus will form interdisciplinary teams to design and develop innovative solutions to urgent problems, refine their ideas with advice from experienced mentors, and pitch their startups to expert judges.
These venture teams will develop valuable entrepreneurial experience, build professional relationships inside and outside the University, and compete to win both awards and prizes to further develop their ventures.
