A group of Cleveland-based health systems and technology organizations are hosting a hackathon to help students develop their coding skills to become entry level software developers. The hope is the students can apply their new skills to develop a technology addressing a community need.
Organizing partners of the hackathon are Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, MetroHealth, HIMSS, Intel, Case Western Reserve University, BioEnterprise, FlashStarts and Nesco Resource. The organizations are working with the Cleveland Codes Tri-C Software Developers Academy.
Students at the academy will participate in the Hackathon.
"Our software development academy students are learning technical skills in the classroom applying those skills to real-world projects," said Monique Wilson, dean and executive director of the IT Center of Excellence at Tri-C, in a statement. "Exposure to the Hackathon experience will allow them to interact and work with industry professionals from all backgrounds."
