This hour-long webinar will show you how to plan and run an NCBI-Style Hackathon at your own institution. NCBI organizes 2-3 day Hackathons at sites throughout the United States. In these events, participants work in small collaborative groups on workflows, scripts or applications to create bioinformatic solutions to problems in fields such as text mining, next-gen sequence analysis, medical informatics, and many others. Code from Hackathon projects is available on the public NCBI Hackathon GitHub site.
