“I had never participated in a hackathon before,” says Sarah Traoré, a graduate student in environmental conservation and the winner of the MIT’s recent Water Hackathon, “I thought they were usually for computer science majors.” But when Traoré, a Fulbright scholar from Côte d’Ivoire, who is earning her master’s degree in water, wetlands and watersheds saw the hackathon’s call—to “bring the best minds together to solve challenges being faced in the field of water and find a technology and business solution for them”—she decided to sign up for the challenge.
