More Information

Hack for Humanity is an annual humanitarian focused hackathon at Brown University that brings together students to learn about the most pressing needs in the human rights and humanitarian sphere and develop creative ideas for innovative programs or technologies that could help improve the lives of disaster and conflict affected communities around the world. The winning team is eligible to receive a $3,000 seed grant for their project.

This year's hackathon will focus on how to better prepare for and respond to global health threats including pandemics/outbreaks, as well as other global health challenges like chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats and climate change. Students will work together over the course of two days to develop creative ideas for innovative programs, systems, or technologies that fall under the umbrella of global health security. 

Teams MUST pre-register. Please find more information at this page
