NSF NCAR Co-sponsors Open Hackathon to Build Coding Skills and Inspire Open Science Practices
Mar. 14, 2024
For over a week—from February 21 to 29, 2024—nine teams of computational scientists and Earth system science researchers came together to hack their code, build their software development skills, and improve their projects. In the process, participants experienced the real-life benefits of practicing Open Science.
The annual Open Hackathon took place this year at the David Skaggs Research Center (DSRC) in Boulder, Colorado, and also remotely. The event was co-sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR); the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); the OpenACC organization; and NVIDIA.
