Join us for IAC Eitanim San Diego Mini Hackathon IAC Eitanim brings together the next generation’s Jewish-American and Israeli-American middle and high school students for an immersive, innovative, project-based learning experience which strengthens participants’ Jewish identity and builds their connection to Israel. A Mini Hackathon is a taste from the IAC Eitanim program, in which the teens will work in groups on a real-life task, written by the Permanent Mission of Israel United Nations. Each group will work with a mentor to create the best solution to the task. For that the teens will research Israel and technological innovations, target audiences, make a financial and marketing plan and by the end of the day, they will present the solution to a panel of judges and compete for the best solution.The Mini hackathoמ is for 7th-12th graders how would like to experience teamwork, brainstorming, research and learn how to pitch.Kosher Breakfast, lunch, snacks and beverages will be provided. Family and friends are most welcome to join at 2:00 pm to watch the presentations on stage.Looking forward to seeing you!IAC Eitanim San Diego

Join MD5 for our continuing series of hackathons where you can test your innovation skills and tackle big national security challenges! We’re looking for students, developers, designers, and hackers from the academic, military, and start-up communities to come together for a weekend to explore non-traditional, innovative concepts for tactical computing capabilities in austere environments. MD5 will provide up to $90,000 in total awards to winning teams to further develop their concepts! Challenge Overview In "Off the Grid", we're working with US Army Special Operations Forces (SOF) to help them develop new capabilities for operating at the edge. SOF operate in austere environments, often training and conducting missions with local counterparts and living with the same limited access to resources and communication infrastructure. Furthermore, the technological advantage that SOF operators enjoy is quickly eroding as adversaries rapidly develop new capabilities. Operational Constraints: This austere operating environment imposes several technological constraints on operations: Weight: Only what they can carry in on their backs. The weight of power sources and electronics hardware is a limiting constraint on how much processing and communication capability a team can have in the field. Energy efficient solutions, high energy-density power sources, and an innovative combination of both can increase these capabilities. Connectivity: Limited traditional satellite, radio, or other connectivity. SOF must be able to operate independently wherever they are deployed without any assumption of support from back home or from allies. Security: Mobile systems must be hardened against hostile intrusions and communications must be encrypted. Focus Areas: Despite this challenging environment and daunting operational constraints, SOF operators must be able to perform many critical functions. This hackathon will address two challenges of properly equipping operators with the tools necessary to accomplish their missions: Edge Processing: Computer processing currently relies on bulky and heavy hardware and power sources. How can we improve the ability to perform complex, analytical tasks (e.g., computer vision, natural language processing), in the field, without access to cloud computing? Data Transmission: Operators often have requirements to transmit large amounts of data to command elements when there is little or no communications infrastructure available. For example, they may be required to stream high definition, full-motion, real-time video or store up to 32 hours’ worth of data for later transmission. What innovative capabilities can be developed to collect, manage, and transmit data in austere environments? Ideal solutions should be platform agnostic and minimize the size and weight of hardware and power sources. MD5 will provide up to $90,000 in total awards to winning teams to further develop their concepts! Can you Hack it? We think you can!
