Challenges

All challenge pages are listed below; every challenge has sections titled "Background", "Solutions", and "Resources". Each of these challenges will have a stakeholder or two listed as the challenge owner. Look for the stakeholder on Friday night to meet them and learn about their needs, and discuss their challenges with them on the Discord!

The Background describes the problem(s) that the challenge is attempting to solve and overall goals.

Each challenge proposes several Solutions which a team of about 3 to 5 members could successfully build a working prototype or a proof of concept of during the hackathon.

Lastly, the Resources section contains links to relevant datasets, documentation, formats, or downloads of sample files specifically for the solutions to that challenge. Sample files may be included in this GitHub repository (<> Code tab above), under the "challenges" directory, in a sub-directory named for the challenge - however, some datasets are only available directly from a hard drive due to restrictions on widely publishing the data. Please ask hackathon organizers if you're looking for data from hard drives! More data may also be available by directly asking the stakeholders; they may think of more datasets or provide better data as you discuss their challenge with them and work on it.
