May 29-31, 2020



We invite you to attend the MIT COVID-19 Challenge, a series of virtual hackathons. Our next event, Beat the Pandemic II, is May 29-31, 2020. This 48-hour virtual event, a follow-up to our first Beat the Pandemic event in early April, will focus on addressing new issues that have arisen now that we are several months into the ongoing pandemic.



Your contribution to the Challenge can take the form of participant, mentor, judge, or partner organization. Participants will form teams on Friday, May 29th to home in on key problems and generate solutions, including proof of concepts, prototypes, and preliminary vision for execution. Throughout the weekend, teams will connect with mentors to refine their solutions. On Sunday, May 31st, teams will reconvene to present their work before a panel of expert judges. After the weekend, the best ideas and teams will have the opportunity to co-develop and implement their solution with the support of our partners.
