The Hack The Deep challenge is a 24 hour solution-building event produced by AMNH's BridgeUP: STEM, an educational initiative focused on the intersection of computer science and science with an after-school program for high school girls and underrepresented youth.

The challenge starts on Saturday, February 10th at 2:00 p.m. and runs until Sunday, February 11th at 6:00 p.m. Your team will have about 24 hours to build something that solves some (or all!) of a particular problem statement. You may even collaborate with several teams to work on different aspects of the same solution - Hack The Deep is all about cooperation, not competition. The emphasis is on building working prototypes or proofs of concept, not clickable demos; even if your project is incomplete, having a solid foundation to build upon will be a huge step forward for the advancement of marine sciences and can benefit museums around the world.

We hope you'll choose to spend the night with us at the museum -- we'll have cots and a dedicated sleeping area (just bring your sleeping bag and pillow) if you need your rest -- but if not, you will be able to exit the museum Saturday night and return at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday.

"Demo Day" will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday and is free and open to the public with museum admission. All high school teams presenting their work first, followed by each of the professional teams. We hope you'll invite friends, family, and coworkers to see what you've built, please direct them to this calendar event link.

Good luck!
