🚀 Exciting news! The CM Hackathon is back at #ICA26 in Cape Town — and this year’s edition has been officially accepted as a pre-conference 🎉 It’s one of our signature community-building events, especially for early-career scholars. And we need your help 👇

Patrick walks us through some of the highlights of the #ICA25 @hackingcommsci.bsky.social preconference Over 50 participants engaging in 16 projects!

This year's #ica25 hackathon was a blast! A huge thank you to @hackingcommsci.bsky.social for making it a reality! With 13 other great participants, we explored +2 million of Telegram messages around the 2024 US election. I can really recommend checking out the data! dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Excited to kick off #ICA25 with many great computational methods sessions today! Today's topics include multimodal analysis, text classification, data donation. semantic network analysis, and gen AI Be sure to also swing by our poster session, business meeting, and reception!

From text-as-data to sleep data collection, this year‘s #hackica25 in Boulder, CO, was a blast and we‘re proud to say that we‘ve (again) successfully hacked communication science. Thanks to all participants and see y‘all at #ica25 ✨

@rachaelkee.bsky.social blowing us all away with her project at @hackingcommsci.bsky.social. Super impressive project with the goal of collecting high-throughput sleep and media data ✨😴📺 #ICA25

Already using AI tools in coding or thinking about it? Here‘s @patrickparschan.bsky.social giving us an introduction to Cursor 👀

Hackers learning how to write a package in R and bring it to CRAN with @justinho.bsky.social 🙌 #hackica25

#hackica25 at #ica25 is in full swing. One of my favourite events of the year. A room full of nerds working on data and tools, learning new things and having fun 🤓

Hi #ICA25 students & early-career scholars! 🎓 We've built a "Student Track" just for you! Find it in the ICA app: Schedule -> More Filters -> Tags -> Student Track. From your friends at the Student and Early Career Advisory Committee (SECAC), we can't wait to see you there!

Day 2 of #hackica25 and we‘re fully in hacking mode 💻🔥

We’re thrilled to see MNL represented at @hackingcommsci.bsky.social! Huge thanks to @jacobtfisher.online and @kyliewoodman.bsky.social for organizing another fantastic hackathon and sharing valuable comm sci insights such as using GitHub and running fMRI analyses. #hackica25 #ica25

Great presentation by @kyliewoodman.bsky.social on fMRI analysis at @hackingcommsci.bsky.social. I am always blown away by how clearly Kylie is able explain complex topics #ICA25

Looking forward to @kyliewoodman.bsky.social explaining how brain imaging fits into comms research at #hackica25 🧠🧠

Thanks to our Git master @jacobtfisher.online for giving a workshop on version control with Git and GitHub 🙌

Arrived yesterday in Denver for #ICA25 and already look forward to #hackica25 in Boulder (although not to the early busride...).

Kicking off our fourth(!) annual #hackica this year at @colorado.edu. This is always the highlight of ICA. Super excited to get hacking! #hackica25

So many great Computational Methods sessions coming up at #ICA25!! Check them out, and we look forward to seeing you there! 👇👇👇

A peaceful “No Kings” protest rally is planned for this Saturday in the general vicinity of the ICA25 conference. Please read more for details, including advice for those who wish to avoid the area and those who may wish to participate. buff.ly/Mcs3Wdq

We all know our hackathon is a blast—but sometimes, the projects that start here go waaay beyond the weekend! At #hackica22 in Paris, @valeriehase.bsky.social , @groceryheist.cc, & Chung-Hong Chan kicked off an idea that turned into a published paper. Congrats! 🎉 What will #hackica25 bring? 🚀

I'm so excited for another year of the ICA hackathon 👩‍💻. I highly encourage those who are going to ICA and interested in learning more about computational methods to attend

Reminder since #ICA25 registration is open now! 💻🤓 Ours opens soon, so hang tight—we offer fun coding sessions, breakout sessions, and beer waiting for you afterward! 🍻

Time flies when you're hacking comm science. Throwback to our very first hackathon in Washington DC – what a journey it’s been. 🚀 Fast forward five years, and we’re heading back to the US for #hackica25! We can’t wait to see you there. Stay tuned! 💻✨ #ica25

Going to #ica25? Then consider coming a few days early to attend the hackathon! Fantastic event!

The ICA Hackathon is genuinely one of the things I look forward to most each year. If you want to learn new skills, meet some of the brightest, most collaborative people in the field, and get your hands dirty with computational methods, I highly recommend making time to join us this year!
