UConn Global Health Spaces on Campus invites you to participate in UConn’s fifth Annual Global Health Hackathon: GloHHack 2023! This 24-hour event, which will be held from November 11-12th, invites students from all different majors and backgrounds to come together and create innovative solutions to pressing issues in global health. The theme for this year, Disaster Hack, seeks to explore the ways we can innovate solutions to improve the health of those impacted by extreme climate and natural disasters. We will foster student innovation from across UConn and provide an opportunity for students to challenge themselves and gain a greater understanding of Global Health. Food will be provided throughout the event and cash prizes totaling $1500 will be given to the top three teams!

Teams should consist of 3-5 members; we encourage you to sign up in teams but you can also create a team at the event.
