The BridgeUP:STEM Hackathon builds a bridge between world-class specialists in their scientific or research fields and commercial professionals who work daily with cutting edge technologies. This unique collaborative environment creates opportunities to cross-pollinate expertise and inspire innovations that would otherwise never occur. The BridgeUP Hackathon is unique in that it creates an experimental laboratory to explore the future of computation and science and to attempt to build initial prototypes of applications, completely in alignment with the mission of the museum. In addition, the hackathon is a conduit of citizen science where public participants create real tools or otherwise build actual solutions to problems in scientific education, communication, and research at the Museum.

Join the Hackathon’s technologist mailing list today to stay in the loop about future hackathons by dropping us a line at bridgeuphackathon@amnh.org with the subject "Hackathon." Space is limited, and the Hackathon event often fills up before it is announced to the general public, so join our mailing list as soon as possible. If you have registered for a previous BridgeUP:STEM Hackathon, don't worry, you're already on the mailing list.

This program is generously funded by the Helen Gurley Brown Revocable Trust for the American Museum of Natural History’s BridgeUP: STEM initiative.
