Are you a developer, UX enthusiast, big-ideas person, or effective team leader? Register now for the 2017 Hesburgh Libraries Hackathon – a timed, competitive event where teams with diverse skills and talents create innovative digital solutions.
This year’s theme is Information Overload. Do you have creative ideas to deal with the 24/7 problem of information overload? Do you want to create innovative solutions that will have an impact on research, academic, or student life? Find a two to four-person team and register for the event.
“In this Hackathon, there is an emphasis on technological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students at every level with varied skills come together to surface problems and create real solutions,” said Library Information Technology Director, Mark Dehmlow. “It’s a fun and creative experience that empowers student learning and research here at Notre Dame.”
During the event, students identify a challenge or need caused by “Information Overload”; plan, design, and build an innovative solution; and document and present their solution to a panel of judges. Teams showcase their projects in 5-minute lightning talks, with the top entries garnering awards.
