About This hackathon
Join developers, data scientists, and environmental enthusiasts for the Badlands AI Preserve Hackathon in Rapid City. This event challenges teams to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to address pressing ecological concerns within the fragile Badlands National Park and surrounding areas. Participants will focus on developing innovative solutions for wildlife tracking, predictive modeling of erosion, optimizing resource management for park rangers, and creating interactive educational tools for visitors. Mentors from conservation organizations and tech companies will be on hand to guide teams through data sets and technical challenges, culminating in presentations of prototypes designed to safeguard South Dakota's natural heritage.
