Hi prof! 👋
This hackathon is an ideal experience for your students to deepen their knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, and in particular of language models in the real world: challenges, development, applications, risks, and much more 🤓
❓ Questions you’ve asked us
- Can I use the hackathon as a classroom activity? Yes, as long as the dates and conditions set for everyone else are respected.
- Is there a maximum number of teams per university or professor? No, the more the better! The maximum number of people per team is 5.
- Can you give an introductory talk about the community and the event for my university or class? Yes, of course — get in touch as soon as possible to set a date.
- As a professor, can I give a talk or run a mentorship during the hackathon? Absolutely! It would be a pleasure to have your students AND faculty involved. Fill in the corresponding form to propose a talk or a mentorship.
- Some of my students don’t speak Spanish — is that a problem? No, everyone is welcome. In this edition the instructions are translated into English.
- NEW! Can we host the hackathon in person at the university? Yes — universities that wish to do so can offer their students (and participants from the same city) a room where they can meet and work on their projects in person. Let us know so we can help.
➡️ Send us an email at info@somosnlp.org — we’re counting on you and your students!
If you’re a student and you’d like your university to take part in the hackathon, tell your professor!
