WHNT highlights HATCH 2020

HudsonAlpha, in collaboration with Urban Engine and resident associate company Acclinate Genetics will host the third HudsonAlpha Tech Challenge (HATCH) March 6-8 on the biotech campus.

HATCH is a life sciences hackathon that brings together students and professionals who take on challenges in life sciences using business strategy, software development and technology.

To prepare participants for the hackathon, Urban Engine is hosting a series of workshops during CoWorking Night. WHNT stopped by the workshop on February 19 to learn more about HATCH and spoke with Adam Hott of HudsonAlpha Educational Outreach.

“We really do pride ourselves in giving the community the opportunity to get engaged,” said HudsonAlpha Digital Applications Lead Adam Hott. “[It’s] a preview of what’s going to happen on the hackathon days. They only get about 48 hours during the hackathon, so coming to the CoWorking Nights gives every participant just a little bit of an advantage to be ready as soon as they’re ready to walk in the door and start working.”
