About this Event

Welcome! In collaboration with CS Club (CSC), Data Science Club (DSC), INgineering, and Women in Computing (WIC), GDSC@IU will be hosting a Luddy Hackathon from April 12th - 14th. We will begin on April 12th at 6:30 pm. The theme is sustainability; GDSC@IU is one of over 2000 GDSC chapters that participate in an annual competition that combines the United Nations's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with Google's technologies to build a solution. This time, we want to bring SDGs into this hackathon, but have it open to all technologies. Websites, software programs, mobile apps, games, and AI models are all eligible to be submitted.

When: April 12 – 14, 2024, 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM EDT

Where: Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, 700 North Woodlawn Avenue, Bloomington, 47408
