AI + Climate Hackathon for NYC Climate Week

​We are kicking off NYC Climate Week by going all-in on AI. The Climate Hackathon series is joining forces with Betaworks to gather climate-curious AI practitioners and sustainability domain experts.

​Hackers will have 6 hours to create an AI prototype + business case based on the Challenge Statements. Whether you're unlocking computation-enabled climate change mitigations or slashing the carbon intensity of AI products, the best solutions are built together.

​Agenda:

​11:00am gather, meet, and network with fellow hackers

​12:00pm hackathon begins, small teams are formed and the Challenge Statements are revealed, please arrive prior to this time to ensure your spot on a team

​12:30pm hack

​6:30pm submit solutions

​7:00pm demo day

​What to bring: your climate-interested and solutions-focused attitude, your ship-to-prod mentality, and your laptop.

​Challenge Statements: will be announced leading up to the event.

​Deliverables: your team will present your prototype and business case. More detail on how to format and submit the deliverables will be announced leading up to the event.

​Teams: you can create your team of three at the event, or come with a team already formed.

​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.

​Thank you to The Navigation Fund for sponsoring the event.
