Hi HackMeders, we need your help announcing a new virtual $100K Global Refugee Health and Displaced Children Hackathon starting up next week and continuing for 10 consecutive Saturday 11 am ET livestreams.

Calling on teachers, hackers, and healthcare folks — If you are frustrated by the world conflicts and their effects on refugees and child education, this community will give you hope and problems you can help solve with technology. We would love you all to participate! We are also recruiting HackMed Ambassadors at medical schools and universities who can help get the word out on campuses and help teams assemble and prototype IRL on campuses. Interested ambassadors should WhatsApp +1-617-800-0340 with your linkedin or CV.

Sign up at https://mithackmedicine-refugee-hackathon.mn.co to witness the teams and learn about the problems we hope to fix with technology, empathy, and small focused teams of volunteers from universities and medical schools across the world. Refugee crises and disasters currently ongoing in Gaza, Ukraine, Congo, Yemen, Venezuela, Myanmar, Sudan will benefit from the solutions birthed at this event.

We welcome NGOs to post problems from the front lines of refugee healthcare and showcase solutions that already exist, all for FREE. This will be a rolling hackathon that continues until the Final Prizes awarded on Memorial Day May 27. Those of you observing Ramadan can join during or after and catch up!

Thanks for reposting in your channels and alerting students and healthcare professionals to this new hackathon and community!

Global Refugee and Displaced Children Hackathon: For the first time in our 14 year history, we are asking for individual donations, — via GoFundMe — since our usual large corporate sponsors have not been willing to fund this effort. Hope you all can prove that the goodwill we have created over the years can help raise some prize money alongside an anonymous donor who will match it. Funds will be spent to hold the event at university campuses around the world and our non-profit fund all administrative costs, so 100% of your donation will fund prize-winning teams to continue building what a global panel of experts judge as highest impact projects. Any funds in excess will be used to fund Golden Ticket winners, exceptional medical and engineering students who get travel stipends to our annual MIT Grand Hack event held on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
