Geoscience Hackathon

The Jackson School of Geosciences Hackathon is an annual event that convenes students, researchers, and faculty members to hone their skills in computer programming and the geosciences, all for the fun of friendly competition (and monetary prizes).

Over the course of three days, hackers will develop software programming skills, contribute to open-source projects, solve complex problems, tap into their creativity, collaborate and network.

Undergraduate and graduate students join together to form teams, and under the guidance of a faculty mentor, put their heads together to solve a complex computational problem in the realm of the geosciences.
