As a reminder the IOOS Code Sprint is a 3-day hackathon style event on 17–19 November 2026, organized by the Gulf of America Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) and the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Office. Over the course of the event, teams of developers, academic researchers, and community members will work on projects that address pressing data and information challenges. Projects will relate to the IOOS mission to produce, integrate, and communicate high quality ocean, coastal and Great Lakes information that meets the safety, economic, and stewardship needs of the Nation.

 

Pack your cowboy spirit, and hope to see you in Houston, TX!
