During this year’s Independent Activities Period (IAP), students, researchers, and collaborators across seven time zones came together to tackle urgent technical challenges facing Ukraine as the full-scale war enters its fourth year.

A four-week hackathon, Build for Ukraine 2.0, brought MIT students and Ukrainian collaborators into a shared innovation environment where power outages, air-raid alerts, and subzero temperatures were part of the daily reality of teamwork.

The event was co-led by the MIT-Ukraine Program, MIT Edgerton Center, and MIT Lincoln Laboratory Beaver Works, with support from Mission Innovation X, MathWorks, and MIT.nano.
