The Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute (NMDSI), the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute of Southeast Wisconsin (CTSI) will host an inaugural multicampus Hack for Health.
During the hackathon, students will collaborate in teams to address the challenge “Obstructive Sleep Apnea and its Impact on Risk of Cancer.” Please share the registration link with your students and encourage them to participate.
Mentors needed
Over the course of the hackathon, students will have access to medical and data science experts who will serve as mentors. We are currently seeking volunteers to fill these roles. Below you will find a brief description of the mentor role:
- Oversee students as they work in teams, be available to offer advice, guidance, general expertise, and answer questions
- Time commitment expectations:
- Meet with your team ahead of the hackathon (in-person or virtually)
