List of hackathons in Chilliwack, Canada in 2019

What is the Teens Learning Code Hackathon Program? Equipping the leaders of tomorrow with the skills and experience to succeed in the future of innovation. Not to mention, have a ton of fun along the way. Pack your laptop and an open mind - and join us for this fun, action packed Hackathon where we’ll tackle important social issues, chosen by YOU! With the hands-on, social and collaborative learning approach we’re known and loved for, Hackathons provide a fun, collaborative and intensive learning experience that introduces teen girls ages 13-17 years old to the world of solving real-world problems with technology. This special event aims to reinforce the strength in diverse teams and that anyone can contribute to solving problems -whether you are just starting out with coding or have many programming languages under your belt. The experience brings together technical workshops (HTML & CSS, UX/UI), work sessions, unplugged activities and industry insights where you're able to learn as a group in a collaborative, social, friendly and supportive environment. Teens will be inspired by the amazing instructors and mentors, and will learn the technological and creative skills necessary for this ever-changing digital generation. By the end of the Hackathon, you’ll have learned important skills to help you think critically, prepare you for the future in technology and contribute to the Web in a positive way. Extending beyond technology, participants will develop critical thinking skills and empathy by learning how to identify, frame and unpack problems to tackle. What can I expect? Day 1 -​ 6:00pm to 9:30pm Learners will spend the evening learning to pitch and frame the problems they’d like to solve with their teams. Day 2 - 9:00am - 8:30pm Day 2 will be jam-packed with technical and non-technical workshops, and plenty of time for collaborative work sessions. Learners will produce products that they’re proud of and have the opportunity to show off their work. Families and friends are invited to join us in the evening, where the participants will pitch and present their final projects to the crowd! Workshop Dates: This workshop will be run over the course of two days: March 15th & March 16th Who is this for?

This IoT Hackathon edition is primarily focused on Smart Farming Challenge and oriented on hands-on workshops helping with the education in following fields Getting Started with LoRa Getting Started with LTE-M Device and data Management Asset Tracking Weather Station for WiFi and LoRa and more What you will know after individual workshops Familiar with LoRa technology Understanding LoRa Infrastructure Community approach for LoRaWAN Familiarisation with The Things Network (TTN) Familiar with LTE-M technology Management of application, gateway, and devices Sending data using LoRa Display data on a dashboard Reporting and plots and more The IoT Hackathon that makes a difference and opens a whole new series of IoT events that will create an area to collaborate for technology developers, industry representatives, and investors interested in IoT opportunities. We want to do the things differently and not to be just another hackathon usually organized in "closed-loop" way, where participants get some IoT kits as input and the award as the output and nothing else is happening after hackathon. The hackathon is turned into an area with ongoing collaboration within IoT Hub and make a marketplace where participants can continue on projects and challenges and move them into real business opportunities. The challenge represents the topic opened by IoT Hub member who wants to find a solution for the area of his interest. It can be award by a price and continue in further cooperation with the member. More members can open a challenge together and work on it. In our ongoing effort to support the hackathon participants in their projects and challenges we are giving them an access to the IoT infrastructure providing mainly three subsystems such as data transfer for wireless communication technologies (LoRaWAN), management systems, hardware and software systems for collecting and storing data from connected systems, data processing for analyzing and visualizing the collected data. The hackathon can attend individuals who would like to join or create teams such as startup founders. Opportunity for teams to find new colleagues. All participants are welcome to work on their ideas that can lead to business opportunities or can accept the challenge opened by the IoT Hub member. For more information, visit the website at https://hackthebase.com See the trailer https://youtu.be/lpeBgfRIgPI During the event are provided drinks and food (breakfast, launch, dinner). Each attendee will get an IoT Kit (LoRa / WiFi).   Cancelation Policy: Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable

Not ready to compete but want to learn? - Take part in workshops to learn how you can apply your business and technical skills in the field of decentralization and blockchain! What????: When was the last time you heard of a data breach?  Developers have been using cloud-hosted database backends that have been failing for a variety of reasons - the world is generating much too much data for the traditional cloud providers to handle. Bluzelle is building a decentralized NoSQL database backend that anybody can use and provides enterprise-quality experience.  It is self-managed, blockchain-grade secure and implements PBFT level tolerance. This hackathon is an opportunity for you to build your application and host your data in the global swarm.  You can build an AI, ML, robotic or even a traditional payment system - the sky is the limit, but you'll have only 2 days to do it!
