Graduate and undergraduate students interested in Computer Science and Agriculture are welcome.

Using the resources and mentors we provide, you have an opportunity to explore what technology can do for agriculture.

Join us for ~48 hours to level up your AI and digital ag skillset and for the opportunity to win cash prizes sponsored by WSU Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, School of EECS, Department of Biological Systems Engineering, and CAHNRS!

Eligibility

• Students enrolled at WSU from all years of undergraduate and graduate school are eligible to participate.
• Students with a range of computer science skills and agricultural interests or experience are encouraged to apply.

Who will I be working with?

After you’ve registered, we will set up teams with a diversity of skill sets. Teams will have between 4-6 members. You may also assemble your own team (list teammate names on the registration form), sign up with a buddy, or you can fly solo and you’ll be teamed up with a group of students.

Where is this happening?

This is an IN-PERSON event at the PACCAR Environmental Technology Building with space to work, have snacks, pick up swag, and meet with mentors in person. You’ll be working on Kamiak – the WSU High Performance Computing Cluster to access the resources you need to Hack, and you will be using MS Teams for communications, ask questions, get info, submit your final product, etc.

What computer science background do I need to have?

Any student with a little bit of programming experience and a willingness to learn in teams is welcome to participate. Past experience with any of the programming languages (like Python, R, C/C++, etc.) and/or the use of AI/ML packages (like TensorFlow/PyTorch) will help but are not necessary. Familiarity with cloud computing platforms will be of further help but not a prerequisite. Prior experience working with geospatial data would be a benefit. We will balance teams with a diversity of skill sets.
