The NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Hackathon for Social Good in the Arab World, in collaboration with The Arts Center at NYUAD, will hold a public concert starring DJ Spooky, which will take place at NYUAD’s main plaza, on Thursday, April 27at 7pm.
The DJ Spooky concert marks the NYUAD Hackathon for Social Good in the Arab World, which this year is focused on finding solutions to challenges related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Acclaimed composer, multimedia artist and writer, Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, will take to the stage for an evening of vibrant New York-based electronic music and hip-hop. When he is not spinning sounds, Miller explores the intersections of art and quantum physics, making this performance the perfect way to mark the Hackathon.
The Annual NYUAD International Hackathon for Social Good in the Arab World is a three-day programming marathon, which was founded for the benefit of social good in the Arab world and globally. This year’s event will be held from April 27 to 30 featuring renowned global computer science professors, startup founders, technology professionals, and venture capitalists, who will lead teams of talented computer science students from across the globe – with the majority of them from the Arab world – to create mobile and web applications for the betterment of society.
