What is an Erie Hack?!
The Erie Hack Water Data and Engineering Hackathon is a tech-driven international water innovation competition that will bring together student teams of coders, engineers, marketers, and water researchers to generate creative solutions to Lake Erie’s biggest challenges. The competition, which will award $100,000 to the winners, focuses on creating publicly accessible mobile apps, open data and new technology to elevate the value of clean water and leverage its potential to drive the economic vitality of the Great Lakes region.
