Alumni and students are invited to participate in Missouri S&T’s first ever Hackathon for Humanity (H4H), one of the many ways we are celebrating 50 years of computer science excellence.  Team prizes are:  $1000 for 1st place, $600 for 2rd place, and $400 for 3rd place!

The Hackathon for Humanity kickoff is Thursday, September 3, 2015 from 12:30-1:30 pm Central Time in CS 209.   Free food and beverages for those who can attend in person.  For remote attendees (e.g., alumni, students who just woke up), if you just want to watch, use the passive live stream at https://www.kaltura.com/tiny/dge9i or, if you want to actively participate, then use this WebEx link with meeting number 637 816 875 and password hackathon.   During this event, examples of apps serving society will be provided and the procedures for forming teams and submitting entries demonstrated. This is the perfect opportunity for Q&A and to form teams on the spot.

Key dates are shown below and complete information, including inspiring examples and hackathon rules,  can be found at the Hackathon for Humanity website.
