GlobalHack VII brought technologists, students and creatives together to build tools, apps and platforms that improve experiences for foreign-born individuals in St. Louis and beyond.
GlobalHack, in partnership with Casa de Salud, The International Institute, The St. Louis Mosaic Project, the Immigrant Service Providers Network (ISPN), and others, hosted a hackathon to reshape the experiences of foreign-born individuals and communities.
During the hackathon, participating teams of all levels worked collaboratively with industry experts to build practical technology for immigrant and foreign-born communities. GlobalHack VII was held at Chaifetz Arena on the Saint Louis University campus.
