AI & Data Science for Good Hackathon - Winter 2026

In collaboration with Reception House Waterloo Region and the Future of Work Institute, the Waterloo Data & Artificial Intelligence Institute (Waterloo.AI), supported by Wat.AI and DSC, areis hosting a one-day hackathon focused on designing AI-powered tools to support language access, communication, and employment integration for newcomers and refugees, with particular attention to members of the Rohingya community. 

The hackathon will bring together students from diverse academic backgrounds to work alongside community partners, technologists, and mentors to develop prototype solutions that address real-world challenges faced by individuals with limited or no literacy, emphasizing culturally grounded, ethical, and human-centered AI design.

Waterloo researchers have developed a new quantum computing approach that brings science closer to simulating the early universe

Waterloo researchers develop highly efficient AI training system that paves the way for cheaper, greener “intelligent partners”

Waterloo.AI launched the Nexus of Data & AI Seed Fund to inspire new interdisciplinary research across campus. With $20,000 awarded to each team, the program supports early-stage ideas that bridge data, AI, and the university’s Global Futures priorities. Several months in, all six projects are showing strong momentum — from new tools and publications to major external funding.
