Brainhack ATL

Schedule

The venue for Brainhack ATL will be open until midnight every night throughout the hackathon. This is to ensure that teams have a safe, collaborative space to work on their projects late at night, if teams wish to utilize the space during after-hour times. There will be Brainhack ATL Volunteers staffing the space from 6am to 12am (midnight), and we will have snacks placed out throughout the time as well.
Brainhack ATL will take place at the Center for Translational Research for Neuroimaging & Data Science (TReNDS). For more information about the space itself, please visit the ‘Venue’ tab.
