Compete against teams from other Universities in the 3-day DASSH (Designing Actionable Solutions for a Secure Homeland) student design challenge. This event is co-sponsored by SENTRY and fellow Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence, the Center for Accelerating Operational Efficiency (CAOE).
Teams will be presented with real-world problem scenarios related to homeland security and this year’s theme, “Cascading Events”. The scenarios will focus on the detection and mitigation of threats such as cyber-attacks, natural disasters, and human-engineered sabotage.
Subject matter experts will mentor student teams as they design, build, and implement innovative solutions. Although other hackathons focus on coding, this challenge emphasizes finding real solutions regardless of the medium those solutions happen to be in.
To conclude the event, proposed solutions will be presented to Department of Homeland Security leadership and cash prizes will be awarded to the top teams.
Graduate and undergraduate students affiliated with SENTRY, CAOE, SENTRY partner institutions, or CAOE academic partners are welcome to participate.
