40 Student Slots. Real-World Impact.
September 6, 2025
Hey Builders,
Last year, a team walked in with nothing but curiosity and a caffeine plan. By dusk, they’d shipped a working prototype, won thousands of dollars, and gained a new belief in what was possible. That’s the energy we’re creating again this time, centered on real nonprofit challenges that need you.
Future of Data Hackathon
📅 Saturday, September 6, 8:00 am–8:00 pm
📍 1819 Innovation Hub (Cincinnati)
👥 Teams of 4 (solo? we’ll match you)
🎯 Solve a real nonprofit problem, present to execs
🏆 Top prize: $1,000 cash
🪄 Bonus: Unlimited Claude credits (via partner Tembo)
🤝 Meet corporate execs & decision‑makers scouting talent
Why join:
• Impact that counts: your solution helps a nonprofit today, not someday.
• Career rocket fuel: ship a real project, tell a better story in interviews.
• Network that opens doors: executives, mentors, and hiring managers in the room.
• Tools you’ll actually use: Claude access (Tembo) + hands-on team coaching.
This is where builders become leaders by building for people first.
