On Friday June 25 and Saturday June 26 we hosted our annual IQ Hackathon. This is a great opportunity for students to ideate and develop innovative solutions to research questions that have a broader societal impact. We also had a blast eating pizza together and showcasing our pets, even if we were thousands of miles away. We want to thank the great people of Seriously Creative for their seamless support of the event.

Here are the winning projects for the 2021 IQ Hackathon. Congratulations to all of the participants who all did an incredible job.

IQ BIO REU Season 3 is in full swing. Please join us on June 25–26 to meet our amazing students, learn more about their projects and help them take their projects to the next level. Participants will collaborate with individuals from different disciplines and backgrounds to seek innovative solutions to their research questions. We look forward to the participation of programmers, computer scientists, designers, startup owners, and creatives who are interested in exploring the intersection of life sciences and computer science. In the past years we have been doing these events and the results have been incredible. We invite you to hack with us. 

No prior knowledge is required, just a desire to learn and explore.
