About this event
Call for Code is a global initiative led by IBM to apply crowdsourced coding solutions to address societal issues. This particular initiative for BMCC challenges teams of students, professors and some industry professionals to create practical, effective, and quality applications based on IBM cloud, data, and artificial intelligence that can have an immediate and lasting impact on humanitarian issues.
The two main goals are: -Activate BMCC students to create practical solutions to global problems using IBM offerings and expertise such as cloud, AI, big data and other technologies.
-Create learning opportunities that engage the larger BMCC network (professors, advisers, industry mentors) for students to refine their 21st century job skills.
Organizers: Dr. Azhar, Assistant Professor of CIS Department, BMCC, CUNY
