Hackathon FAQs
Who can join?
All backgrounds and skills are welcome: Healthcare providers, software professionals, business/finance, journalists, patients/caregivers, and others! Students who apply individually and are selected will be matched by our committee to the rest of their team. Students may also apply as pre-formed teams.
What is this Hackathon about?
Participants will join a team virtually to construct real-world solutions to neurosurgical cases in low and middle-income countries. These solutions can address policy, global health, public health, surgery, funding, supply chain, database, medical devices, etc.
What is the time commitment?
This will be a global, virtual 3-day Hackathon beginning Friday March 25th, 2022 and ending Sunday March 27th, 2022. Participants need not be available for the entire event as long as they maintain clear communication with their team members.
The Grand Prize is really an all-expenses-paid trip?
Yes! A maximum of 3 winners (no teams more than 3 people) will be awarded the cost of a round trip coach flight, housing, and a $75/day allowance to Mexico with the mision:brain team on their next mission. The trip would be approximately 4-5 days. Students will need to have the trip approved by their respective universities, or sign a waiver that the trip will be of their own volition (vacation/personal time, their own arrangements). For final approval: Students will also need to submit a letter of support from their Deans, and have an interview process with the mission:brain team prior to the trip.
