Back & Bigger: Future of Data Hackathon 2025

September 6, 2025

August 26, 2025

You joined us before to shape the Future of Data, and this year, we’re going even bigger. We’d love to see you back for the 2025 Future of Data Hackathon on Saturday, September 6th, 8 AM-8 PM at the 1819 Innovation Hub.

This year, the challenge is different and the impact is real. Together, hackers will tackle the most urgent tech needs of Cincinnati nonprofits. Your skills won’t just win cash prizes, get you unlimited Claude credits, or the chance to get your next job; they’ll change lives.

Here’s what’s new:

We’re introducing two competition tracks this year. The Beginner Track will work with the Wood Hudson Cancer Research Laboratory to support their critical cancer research efforts, with mentors available to guide participants throughout the day. The Experienced Track will collaborate with the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati to help them transform their community service through advanced AI solutions. 

Hackers will work in teams of four, but don’t worry if you don’t have a team. We’ll match you with one here.

Spots are limited. Register now to secure your place. Let’s make this year’s hackathon even more powerful than the last. Are you in?
