What the LII Learned From Hosting Their First Hackathon


Nichole McCarthy

The Legal Information Institute hosted their first hackathon on Sunday March 24, 2024. This was a very small one-day hackathon with just over 20 students. The goal of this hackathon was to have small groups of diverse minds work together for one day to find a creative and accessible solution to the organization of the content in Wex.
Student participants came from varying schools and backgrounds. The LII also had the opportunity to collaborate with many other library and information professionals who participated as mentors and judges for this event. Nichole will talk about why she chose to do this, how it went, and what we all learned from hosting this event.
