Overview

ENERGY Hackathon 2021

Energy Hackathon 2021

We encourage students from all faculties and all levels to participate in this hackathon. Participants do not need to know programming or be part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department to participate, as we will have a wide variety of challenges available. Participants will also be encouraged to brainstorm their own ideas and form teams on day 1.

Supported by

This event is also supported by AI4Society, ISAIC, Future Energy Systems, and the Energy Systems Signature Area.

This Hackathon will take place over the weekend June 25–27 . A tentative schedule is available below.

The first day of the Hackathon will be for participants to get familiar with each other and the tools they can use. Ideas will be brainstormed and participants will be asked to vote for the challenges they like.

Day 2 begins with final team formations, after which teams are free to work independently on their assigned problem. Moderators will be hosting Drop-in Q&A sessions if participants have questions.

Teams continue working independently until noon on day 3. Draft presentations are due at noon and a submission link will be shared with teams. Finally, teams will present to an audience of judges and other teams. Winners will be announced at the end.
