List of hackathons in Victoria, Canada in 2016

The Canadian Astronomy Data Centre and the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes invite data engineers interested in the Common Archive Observation Model to attend a workshop and hackathon. You will work on the CAOM open source project — to collaborate to help evolve the data model and support new use cases. Should you choose, you may participate in the one-day hackathon to further develop the observation model data and to stage test datasets for complete end-to-end use of CAOM.

Boys of color aged 8-17! Planning a career in technology? Excited by robotics? Come and participate in the next BlackBoysCode 2016 Hackathon Challenge. The theme is Robotics! Sign up and collaborate with your peers to develop the best, smartest, and most creative robotics solution. You'll be challenged to program a physical robot to traverse obstacles. You'll work in a team, using critical thinking and programming skills, and demonstrate your program to a panel of judges. Perhaps your team will be judged the winner and take home an awesome prize?

Are you a developer interested in voice control technologies and IoT? Want to showcase your ideas and technology skills? Sign up--on your own or with your friends--to participate in the Amazon API.hack | Alexa hackathon. Teams of 4 will be assembled at the event to develop the coolest and cutting-edge Alexa-driven voice controlled apps. The teams will be provided with the Alexa Skills Kit (Smart Home Skill API) to create exciting apps to control your choice of Internet of Things (IoT) device.

ProtoHack exists to show non-coders that they can create something amazing from nothing. We empower and enable the non-technical community with the tools, knowledge and connections that will help bring their idea to life and visually communicate it through prototyping. How does it work? No coding is required. Instead you will use prototyping tools, drag and drop editors, mockups, wireframes and anything else you can think of to VISUALLY demo your idea on stage. (We’ve put together the best tools for non-coders, so don’t fret if you’ve never prototyped.) Although we encourage you to try some prototyping tools prior to attending ProtoHack, we will begin ProtoHack with optional educational workshops on how to use some of the top prototyping tools. You can choose to prototype alone or form a team with other participants and decide on an idea together. Teams can be up to 5 people. You will have 9 hours to produce a prototype. (Remember, you are creating a lean prototype of your idea and it doesn't need to be perfect. The focus should be on visually showing what the idea is.) At the end, you or your team will present on stage to a panel of judges consisting of developers and investors to get feedback. Looking for the Agenda? Click here Interested in speaking at ProtoHack?

ProtoHack is a 501(c)(3) and cannot pay their speakers.  What's in it for me?  ProtoHack will be a 12-hour experience where you will build a prototype that communicates an idea visually. Learn how to effectively use industry leading tools to put together a prototype and visually communicate your idea. Meet other like-minded people with various backgrounds in design, business, marketing, product management and more who are all excited and passionate about building something.  Become a better product person with a deeper understanding of UX. Exclusive access to over $200 in prototyping tools and sponsor related goodies. We will also invite developers who are looking for new projects, to come and watch the presentations so they have a no-pressure opportunity to contact you if they’re interested in helping you actually code your prototype.  Learn more about ProtoHack by visiting our website.
