The second Big Data Hackathon for San Diego organized at San Diego State University provided the platform and resources needed for students and collaborators from varied disciplines to come together and develop projects that will benefit the San Diego community.
On February 18, 25 and 26, collaborators from SDSU, University of California San Diego, Texas A&M University, Oregon State University and local high schools joined together to help develop solutions for local public health issues during the Hackathon.
The theme for the hackathon was Public Health and 18 unique, exciting ideas for public health projects for the San Diego community emerged from this event. Ideas ranged from individual health-related concerns such as heart disease, developmental disorders and mental health issues to those targeting specific community needs such as access to safe drinking water, food banks and resources for the Veteran community in San Diego.
