List of hackathons in Lansing, United States in 2019

Come together to brainstorm innovative actions for securing a regional commitment to racial equity in the Greater Lansing Metro Area.

Come together with students, hackers, educators, and government officials to unlock important stories about water in the United States and abroad — and help find solutions to some of society's most pressing health emergencies. This free hackathon, sponsored by Grand Valley State University and Big Data Ignite, will bring together interdisciplinary groups to analyze and probe a variety of key data sets proactively posted by government or obtained through Freedom of Information requests. Over the course of the day, you'll get to work with a group to help pull out trends, highlight challenges, and prototype better ways to get the word out to affected communities about how critical it is that safe, affordable water is available. Two prizes — one for an internationally-focused project and one for a U.S.-centric project — will be awarded. Get an early peek at some of the data sets up for analysis on GitHub.

Join us for an interactive lunch program focused on attracting and retaining talent from Ann Arbor area colleges and universities. The program will feature a panel of career development professionals. Each academic unit will have a table and will be available to meet with company representatives for one-on-one conversations.
