First MIT Covid-19 Challenge; a great success

In the weekend of 3 till 5 April, 1500 selected participants took part in the MIT Covid-19 Challenge – Beat the Pandemic Hackathon. They were selected out of more than 4500 applications from over 100 countries. Dutch participants were also joining team sessions in 10 different tracks.

The teams, under guidance of mentors, presented their work at the end of the weekend to judge panels that picked 40 winning teams out of 208 teams. The organization is now analyzing which teams are able to further work on their solutions and what is needed to get these solutions into practice.
