2019 Hackathon Puts Focus On Mental Health + Wellness
2-day Technology-Driven Behavioral Design Summit Hackathon
NewPathVR is producing a VR Wellness Hackathon in January 2019 in San Francisco. NewPathVR is convening a group of interested developers for the 2-day Hackathon, with a real-world mission of “creating life-changing products in the health and wellness arena”. Participants will have a chance to collaborate on diverse teams with projects reviewed by industry leaders and entrepreneurs.
Last year's top winners
Organized Around the following themes:
* Research
* Foundations of behavioral design
* Applications
* Broader impact solutions
* Presentations
How It Works
We’ll create “dream teams” with people from various interest groups on one team. Each team will have a mix of people who will learn to work together throughout the 2-day period of the Hackathon. There will be a combination of focused talks and training from innovation leaders and experts, work sessions and final presentations of startups from each team. Industry experts will provide expertise to each team and help them rapidly develop their solution. Judges will pick a winning team based on the startup’s viability, feasibility and desirability.
Who’s Coming
All journalism and communications schools are invited to attend the Hackathon, as well as journalists, editors, technologists, entrepreneurs and others with an interest in networking, collaboration and innovation. We allow undergraduates, graduates and doctoral students to compete on teams. You may either purchase a "hacker" ticket to participate, or a "professional" ticket to network and observe.
Registration
Registration fees help cover the cost of food and drinks, as well as producing the Hackathon. Early Bird Registration costs $9 for hackers and $11 for professionals, and the deadline is January 5, 2019. Thereafter, regular registration costs $12 for hackers and $16 for professionals.
Winners
Certificates will be awarded. Each team, winner or not, will receive sponsor gifts.
