Hi Ed,
Ted Hanson and I met with the folks from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency last Friday and they shared the new date for their annual Hackathon. Here is the link to their promotion and registration that I also sent to some other departments in Engineering:
Because they changed the date, they said there’s not been a large turnout so far, so they’ve raised the first prize from $4k to $10k. Some of our students would have a very good shot at this, but it’s right around the corner!
Best,
Val
