Hack4Good Program 2019
The Hack4Good program enables ETH Zurich students to work closely with NGOs and develop and implement data-driven solutions to increase these organizations' impact. Application deadline: September 24th 2019.
What is Hack4Good?
Hack4Good is a 8-week long pro-bono student-organised program that matches Data Science talents from ETH Zurich with organisations (NGOs) that promote social causes. In close collaboration with such a NGO, small teams of 3-4 students develop and implement data-driven solutions to increase these organizations' impact.
Why NGOs?
NGOs frequently lack the time and resources to implement analytics projects. However, such projects can often greatly contribute to the ultimate goal of the organization and thereby produce a positive impact on society. They either help beneficiaries directly or augment the reach of NGOs.
What is in for students?
Hack4Good enables students to simultaneously gain professional work experience in Data Science with high-profile organisations and to support a social cause. As a student you will engage directly with NGO representatives to get to know one of their pressing challenges and decide with your team how to solve the problem at hand. In doing so, you will be able to learn not only coding but also project management!
If you want to hone your coding and project management skills whilst contributing to a social cause, apply external page here before September 24th.
