About This hackathon
This hackathon invites developers, data scientists, and environmental enthusiasts to New Orleans for an intensive day focused on leveraging artificial intelligence to address Louisiana's critical coastal issues. Participants will form teams to design and prototype solutions aimed at mitigating land loss, improving flood early warning systems, optimizing resource management for wetlands, or developing tools for community resilience against rising sea levels. With access to real-world data sets and mentorship from experts in AI and environmental science, teams will compete to build innovative tech that can truly make a difference in protecting Louisiana's unique ecosystems and communities. The event aims to foster collaboration and generate tangible projects that support sustainable coastal management efforts.
