Black Wings Hacks 2023

Inclusive, accessible hackathon open to all college women in tech!

Black Wings Hacks is founded, designed, and led by the Rewriting The Code (RTC) Black Wings, RTC’s community of Black women in tech. RTC invites college women of all racial identities to join this free and exciting event to develop their technical and team-building skills within a community of women. Those who do not participate in creating a project are invited to engage by attending company-sponsored workshops where they will expand their technical knowledge and skills. This hackathon is a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment open to all self-identifying college women in tech.

TRANSCEND MADISON INNOVATION COMPETITION

“Transcend Madison, created by Transcend UW, is the campus's first-ever student-led innovation competition. Each year we give away up to $55,000 worth of prizes, and this year's presenting sponsor Discovery to Product (D2P) has helped make it all possible. This event was created with one goal: to bring students across UW-Madison together to demonstrate their novel ideas and creations. 

​

This is a competition for the doers. We judge heavily on execution: taking the necessary steps to turn your idea from nothing into reality. 

The 2023 Transcend Madison Competition will be held on April 13th and 14th at the Discovery Building.

To sign-up or access more information, visit https://www.transcenduw.com/.”

IceCube Machine Learning Competition

The IceCube Collaboration, in conjunction with Kaggle, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Munich Data Science Institute (MDSI), the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1258, Excellence Cluster ORIGINS, and PUNCH4NFDI, announces the launch of the IceCube – Neutrinos in Deep Ice project. This outreach project invites everyone to present a machine learning solution that tackles the problem of IceCube event reconstruction. 

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which encompasses a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice, searches for nearly massless particles called neutrinos in order to better understand the cosmos. Scientists achieve this by estimating the direction of neutrino events, allowing them to trace neutrinos back to their sources. However, with an average of three thousand events per second to process, the stream of data becomes daunting using current, traditional methods. This is where machine learning can shine. 

Over the next three months, participants will be challenged to devise a solution that can quickly and accurately process a large number of events to identify the direction that neutrinos came from. Their solutions will be scored on a hidden test set of one million events, and the three teams with the best overall performance on these events will win prize money.

Participants (excluding IceCube and Technical University of Munich members) will have a chance to win a total of $50k in cash prizes.

The final submission deadline is April 20, 2023.

At the time of application, the student must be a second-year undergraduate, a first-year undergraduate who will have more than 24 credits after May 2023, or a transfer student in their first year of attendance at UW–Madison. Apply by February 28, 2023.

Public Humanities Exchange for Undergraduates (HEX-U) is a high-impact program for undergraduate students that funds humanities-based projects that support a need in the Madison community beyond the university. The program provides training in community partnership, support for project development and implementation, and funding. Participating students receive a $600 stipend award and up to $2,000 in project funding. Students are encouraged to propose new, innovative ideas for engagement with the local community through a project. Apply for the spring 2023 cohort by Monday, February 6 (early-bird deadline) and Monday, March 27, 2023 (final deadline).

Wisconsin Idea Fellowships are awarded annually to undergraduate student projects that address a challenge identified along with a local or global community partner. Fellowships are awarded to semester-long or year-long projects designed by an undergraduate student (or group of students) in collaboration with a community advisor at a community organization and a UW–Madison faculty or academic staff member. Projects can receive up to $7,000 in total funding, and students receive 3 academic credits. Apply for 2023-24 fellowships by February 13, 2023. There is a priority deadline of January 30, 2023 for applicants seeking proposal feedback from the Wisconsin Idea Fellowship Advisor.

**Writing Proposal Workshops for the Hilldale and Holstrom Research Fellowships are offered in-person through the Writing Center on Thursday, January 26, 2023 at 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. This workshop is also appropriate if you are applying to a Sophomore Research Fellowship.
