Build for Ukraine Hackathon 3.0 - Info Session
Building W20: Stratton Student Center, Wellbeing Lab (3rd floor), 84 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA
Join us at this Info Session to learn about Build for Ukraine, an extended IAP hackathon where you can work with organizational and institutional stakeholders and end-users to analyze challenges and develop solutions for Ukraine. It will take place over the IAP 2027, and can be taken for class credit. Pizza will be served! Build for Ukraine is a project-based class open to all members of the MIT community. Week 1 will include daily lectures on the background of the war and technological needs, along with specific challenge areas, including disinformation, energy resilience, drone detection, demining, and others. At the end of the first week, participants will form teams to work on a specific challenge problem. Weeks 2-4 may have a few lectures as topics arise, but will be focused primarily on Thursday design reviews, culminating in final presentations on Thursday January 28th.
