Event Details

The Grove School of Engineering at The City College of New York is hosting the TECH TO PROTECT CHALLENGE, a national hackathon designed to help emergency responders—including EMS, firefighters and police—accomplish their mission to serve and protect our communities nationwide.

Date: November 1-3, 2019
Location: CCNY - GSOE
275 Convent Avenue
Steinman Hall
New York, NY 10031

Join fellow students, professionals, researchers, designers, and project managers in solving complex technology issues that first responders face daily.

Participants will have access to resources — including researchers, scientists, and public safety experts – to kick-start their creativity and design their submissions. $35,000 in cash prizes will be awarded at the New York event.

Participants are also encouraged to submit their best and final solution to the online contest by Nov. 15 for a chance to advance to the national event to win more money to further develop their technologies.
