Welcome to the RCC’s COVID-19 Hackathon

COVID-19 continues to impact every facet of our working and personal lives. The RCC has set up high-performance computing resources and services to help the University of Chicago community researchers. 

To bring together researchers across the university, we are hosting a COVID-19 visualization hackathon for the social sciences. We have a selection of projects you can choose to be part of, or you can bring your own projects.
