  • Hack the Earth: People Focused, Earth Centered" is Emory’s environmental hackathon, where participants from across Atlanta compete to create solutions to real issues in less than 36 hours. Teams of up to 5 students will have the opportunity to attend skill sessions, network with industry professionals (including Microsoft and Airly employees and Emory students and professors) and win cash prizes!

  • The hackathon will be hosted online. After an introductory session, teams will meet with their mentors and begin working on a solution to one of the issues presented in the case files.

  • Competition Resources:

  • Case files: Teams will be provided a set of case files (research papers, articles, and data sets) to use while creating their solutions. You will be able to download these files from this site after the competition starts.
