<P CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>Sustainathon 2019 is a sustainability hackathon focused on sustainable problem-solving to create solutions for global challenges. This weekend will consist of workshops, coaching sessions, and deliverables. This pressure cooker format is where brilliant ideas are born. Participants will be provided with everything they need to boost their thinking, think of: coaches, workshops, data, free food, and of course a great vibe. Having coding skills is not a pre-requisite and everyone from different academic backgrounds and skill sets are welcome.</SPAN></P>
