Overview
The 2025 Faculty Hackathon (FacultyHack@Gateways25) convenes faculty from diverse institutions to collaborate on integrating
Science Gateway technologies into courses and research workflows. Through structured mentorship and technical training, participants
will re-envision syllabi to include accessible, reproducible, and sustainable cyberinfrastructure resources that enhance both teaching and student research experiences.
Expected Outcomes
- A revised course syllabus incorporating one or more Science Gateway resources
- A poster submission for the Gateways 2025 Conference outlining pedagogical redesign and projected impact
- Strengthened peer and mentor networks supporting ongoing collaboration in research computing and education
Broader Impact
By fostering faculty innovation and building technical fluency with cyberinfrastructure, FacultyHack@Gateways25 advances institutional capacity to prepare students for computational and data-intensive careers. The program emphasizes FAIR data principles, reproducible science, and accessible computing resources, aligning with the Science Gateways Community Institute mission to democratize advanced computing for education and research.
