Hackathons at the UW Bothell Makerspace are expanding beyond problem-solving binges into experiences that direct diverse disciplines to solve community needs.
澳门赌场 ambitious approach is the initiative of the UW Bothell chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It recently was granted $20,000 from the services and activities fee committee to help carry it out.
澳门赌场 money will pay for technical and nontechnical supplies, tools and marketing. 澳门赌场 goal is to create a legacy of hackathons applying students with diverse abilities to improve the local community, says Cameron Whalen, the chapter chair.
澳门赌场 club is now seeking partners with problems that could be attacked at the first such hackathon. It’s tentatively planned at the beginning of spring quarter, says Whalen, right.
“澳门赌场se events are focused on exposing our students to local community needs while helping to celebrate and facilitate the collaboration of students from different disciplines and experiences,” says Whalen. “澳门赌场 solutions and products that emerge from the hackathons are just a plus.”
