Congratulations to all of the winners and thanks to everyone for participating!

First Place - Space Jam

Second Place - NanoHack21

Third Place & Best Integration of IF Images in Visualization - Reimagining resolution at single cells

Honorable Mention - GeoMx Cloud: spatial data analysis using cloud computing

Honorable Mention - Spatial and Gene Expression Data Mapping with IF Images

Honorable Mention - Kidney data visualization Streamlit web app

NanoString’s GeoMx® DSP stands at the powerful intersection of tissue imaging technology and genomic sciences.  It enables investigators to finely dissect the fundamental features of any tissue and ask critical questions concerning tissue organization, cellular interactions, and disease pathology.  In the Spatial Omics Hackathon, data enthusiasts will use data from the GeoMx platform with your favorite dev tools to build smarter solutions to develop insights into kidney disease.

You might create a graphical representation of data through visual components such as maps, graphs, or other visual formats (e.g. tools that display trends or patterns). You could create data analysis solutions that collect, interpret, and present data (e.g. tools that identify relationships or detect anomalies). Put your Machine Learning skills to good use and build solutions that use pre-trained models or train a model using the specific dataset.

What to Build: 

Build an open source solution that can help scientists interpret data and learn new things from a large kidney dataset assembled by NanoString’s GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler.

What to Submit: 

⦿ Provide a URL to your publicly available code repository for judging and testing. 

⦿ Include one of the non-copyleft OSI-approved open source licenses (https://opensource.org/licenses), such as Apache, BSD, or MIT, and include the license in the publicly accessible code repository.

⦿ Include a video (about 3 minutes) that demonstrates your submission. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook Video and made public.
