List of hackathons in Salo, Finland in 2017

Graffathon is a three-day computer graphics hackathon aimed for novices. Every participant will create a computer program that produces a non-interactive multimedia presentation also known as demo. The event is targeted at real beginners who have no previous graphics coding and/or demoscene experience. The demos can be made in small groups of two or three people. One can also make the demo by themselves or find a group at the event. The program consists of helpful presentations and workshops which guide you on how to create your first demo. In addition, we teach you the basics of demoscene and democulture. Please note that this event is for ages 18 and up. http://graffathon.fi

Get a life (not just a job) - Hackathon for Aalto University students and post-graduates in AI & ML. The topic is application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in B2B sales process and market/customer segmentation. We provide two sets of data, problem statements and food & drinks. Participants are able to analyse the data, come up with potential approaches for solving the business problem and get to develop first iterations of the analysis and solutions. Best solutions and performers are rewarded. The space is limited so be quick to enroll! Best, Tapio Nissilä and Niko Ylänen
