Past Hackathons

2024

The theme this year was computational reproducibility.

Researchers often include more than text, graphs, and photos in their papers — they’re also including the code and data behind their results. This allows anyone the ability to extend their research.

However, this practice is relatively new. In the past, the available data was limited to what was published. The hackers in this competition helped fill this missing data gap by reproducing figures from historical articles, writing original code, and extending old computational methods to new approaches that use artificial intelligence.

This code is now publicly accessible thanks to these students’ work. Explore it on the hackathon’s GitHub page.
