Sustainathon 2019 is a sustainability hackathon focused on sustainable problem-solving to create solutions for global challenges. This weekend will consist of workshops, coaching sessions, and deliverables. This pressure cooker format is where brilliant ideas are born. Participants will be provided with everything they need to boost their thinking, think of: coaches, workshops, data, free food, and of course a great vibe. Having coding skills is not a pre-requisite and everyone from different academic backgrounds and skill sets are welcome. Why participate? Compete, build, test and launch your implementable case to the world and/or UMass campus. Work together in teams full of talent (an interdisciplinary mix of different backgrounds and skillsets). Level up your skills: get coaching and workshops. Join the Sustainability Projects Abroad (SPA) Team and grow your network: you’ll make unexpected new friendships. It’s a big plus on your resume when applying for a job. Doing extra things in addition to your daily school work is becoming more important for organizations. Sustainathon is a launchpad for bringing ideas into the real-world. Potentially see your idea funded! Want to be on the same team with a friend(s) or have questions?
