HACK THIS. HELP KIDS., presented by the Citrone Thirty Three Foundation, is a hackathon focused on pediatric health care where individuals get to interact and engage with the best and brightest minds. People with diverse experiences and backgrounds such as medicine, engineering, design, software development, and business work together in teams for an action-packed 24 hours of collaboration.

Participants, sponsors, and mentors will take some of the most challenging health care pain points in existence, and turn them in to some of the most innovative and disruptive solutions in the health care industry, working together to create tools and technology to help various problems in the vast field of pediatrics. Help kids by solving problems they encounter every day in the hospital.

The event takes place in the brand-new Tepper Quad, a highly-anticipated state-of-the-art space at Carnegie Mellon University, demonstrating the first true academic innovation hub, bringing together business, technology, and beyond. The event kicks off with keynote speaker Thomas Tull, founder and CEO of Tulco.

Bring hope, and healing, to the kids at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and beyond through HACK THIS. HELP KIDS.
