About the challenge
MindHack is a multi-day event that invites undergraduate students to a hackathon-style event where they work together to build projects related to one of our challenges (Human-Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, Language Cognition, or Social Neuropsychology).
At the end of the 3 day period, students will submit their projects for judging and feedback where upon a winner will be chosen for each category. During the event, students will be able to attend seminars hosted by senior students/graduate students where they can be exposed to content that can enrich their learning experience. MindHack's ultimate goal is to invest in the growth of students of Cognitive Science and related fields and their ability to understand, transform, and utilize research.
Get started
There are 4 categories that are under challenge, you may mix or match any of the below:
Human-Computer Interaction
- Choose an interface, identify usability concerns, and design a mock-up or functional prototype that improves upon usability.
Language Cognition (choose any of the following)
- Build or design a prototype of a model or app that can aid in language learning or speech pathology.
- Build or design a prototype of a model or app that uses research from Natural-Language Processing to solve a problem.
Artificial Intelligence (choose any of the following)
- Use a model or design a model to perform a classification task.
- Build an AI model to solve any type of problem of your choosing within the ARC-AGI database.
- Build your own model (there will be a Saturday workshop on this).
Social Neuropsychology
- Build an anti-doomscroll social media app that promotes better cognitive health for its users.
