Climate Hackathon NYC

​The first four Climate Hackathons were so engaging that we are opening up the invite! What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than grappling with the gritty details of sustainability solutions?

​What to bring: your climate-interested and solutions-focused attitude, laptop or pen+paper, and your friends who also have a climate-interested and solutions-focused attitude.

​What you don't need: No need to have specialized expertise in sustainability or tech since sustainability solutions come from all angles in society. No need to plan or research in advance since the prompt will be revealed during the event. And no need to create a team in advance since small teams will be formed as we go.

​Agenda:

​11am gather and meet

​11:30am small teams are formed and the prompt is revealed

​12:00pm hack

​1:00pm report out

​2:00pm network

​We are taking the innovative, solutions-focused energy of a hackathon and directing it toward climate and other sustainability challenges that our society has encountered as of 2024. While we might not solve climate change during one afternoon, this seems like a great way to get involved and stay in contact with the good ideas that are being generated every day. Plus, the short ideathon-style format allows this event to run every month.

​We are grateful to our sponsor for providing a space for this event!
