## What is a Brainhack?

At the OHBM Brainhack members of the community gather to work collaboratively on common projects. The event also features a TrainTrack in which tutorials are provided. Brainhacks differ from typical academic conference in that attendees can actively take part in the program and co-learn from each other such that they will be actively trying to create something rather than passively attending. Although many Brainhack projects might involve coding, it is not a requirement and many projects can be done without coding skills.

For this year’s Brainhack, we want to create an atmosphere where people who have never attended such an event before can feel welcome. We want to make sure that attendees not only have the opportunity to learn new open-science skills in the TrainTrack that will help them in their future work but that they also get the chance to directly practice some of those skills by joining and collaborating on a Brainhack project.

## What kind of projects can you find in a Brainhack?

The projects can be things the project leader is already working on, or a project they would like to receive contribution/opinion/help, or a completely new project they would like to accomplish with group work.
