Welcome (or welcome back) to MIT! The MIT Sloan E&I Club, Tech Club, Data Analytics Club, and Management Consulting Club (with support from the MIT Design club) invite you to participate in a truly MIT experience of hacking! And what's the prompt - Artificial Intelligence! Excited?
 
On September 29-30th IBM Watson will provide their best engineers and technology to demo their Cognitive Computing capabilities and API. Diverse teams of 3-5 people will form to take advantage of IBM Watson technology, engineering, design, and business skills to solve a challenge of your choice.
 
Want a fun challenge, to build something impactful with one of the world’s most powerful AI engines, or just want to learn more about AI? Need an idea for 100K/came to study Entrepreneurship and Innovation/trying to pivot to Tech? We will give you this experience! Join diverse teams of peers and the hackathon steering committee will help provide everything.
 
Apply by SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 @ 11:30pm - no prior experience hacking, coding, programming or ideating is necessary. We recommend forming a team with individuals from different disciplines and at least one software engineer. All team members must submit an application. If you don't have a team, don't worry. We'll help you find one! 
 
There will be an Info session for participants who are accepted into the hackathon on Friday, September 22 from 12pm-1pm. 
 
FAQs
 
What happens if I'm not selected?
 
We will notify you by email the week before the hackathon and refund you the amount you paid ($10).
 
Will we be forming teams at the hackathon?
 
Nope. Teams will be formed before the hackathon. If you don't have a team, let us know when you apply and we'll do our best to match with you people so that your team has a balance of business, engineering, and design.
