The hackathon will be held in Knoxville, TN, USA, and online from May 12 to May 14, 2025.
Please go over tutorial
If needed, reasonable travel expenses (per NSF requirements) will be reimbursed. E.g., hotel can not exceed 150% CONUS rates for Knoxville (i.e., total amount charged including taxes/fees); economy airfare; up to one travel day before and after the hackathon. If you need to get UTK contract rates for the hotel reservations, please send me the dates for the nights you will be staying at Cumberland House or Crown Plaza. I will send the list to our administrators. Funds are limited, please let me know if you will need reimbursement and an approximate amount as the budget for this event is limited.
