What Happens Next: Hacking the Hackathon for Long-Term Impact

Whether related to the environment, Internet + cybersecurity, health, future of education + work, housing + planning, or another area, hackathons have become a popular way to engage with students, researchers, and practitioners alike on complex issues. Usually a weekend event, they involve taking real-life data and/or situations and brainstorming solutions. 
 
But how impactful (and in what way) are these events after the weekend? Do (and if not, can) they affect future research, policy initiatives, and/or the discourse surrounding these problems? How do they help us answer the question on policy (including hackathons and other policy-related initiatives) "for whom"? Please join us for a facilitated discussion to help hack the hackathon!
 
There will be a small reception after the event with light food and refreshments for our in-person attendees.
