The use of AI and bots in human interaction has dominated conversations in the past 12 months. But what is the purpose of future bots, and how will the technology transform our everyday lives? Are they the first sign of Skynet and T-1000s? What tedious tasks are they able to simplify? To find answers to these questions, we from LivePerson, the leader in Digital Engagement, will host the hackathon Make Bots Great Again in Mannheim. Join us for a hardcore coding night: Team up with fellows and create overwhelming new bots with help and input of our experts. Together we will contribute to the bot-evolution. This hackathon will take place on September 15th 2017. We will open doors at 6 p.m. until open end. Drinks and snacks are on us! So bring along your ideas and personal interest in bots and AI to experience a night free of fake news for a look at tomorrow’s everyday life.

Inspiriert vom erfolgreichen Make Zurich-Hackathon bringen wir die lokale Maker-Community zusammen und erforschen mithilfe von offenen Netzwerken, LoRaWan und Civic Tech neue Herangehensweisen an die Herausforderungen in unserer Stadt. Mit “Civic Tech” ist Technologie gemeint, die es Bürgern ermöglicht, unabhängig von entsprechenden Maßnahmen der Regierung digitale Infrastrukturen für ihre Stadt zu bauen. Alle Erfahrungen, die wir dabei sammeln und Technologien, die wir während dieses zweitägigen Hackathons entwickeln, sollen weitergegeben und -verwertet werden können, damit alle etwas davon haben. Alles, was du zu unserem ersten eintägigen Workshop am 9. Juni mitbringen musst, ist dein Laptop und ein paar Ideen für eine bessere Stadt! Hinweis zur Zahlung: Wenn du keinen PayPal-Account hast, melde dich bei uns: info@hackdarmstadt.de.  Inspired by the successful Make Zurich hackathon, Hack Darmstadt brings together the local hacker and maker community to explore new ways of solving the problems of our city. How? By using open networks, LoRaWan and civic tech – technology that enables citizens to build infrastructure for their city, instead of governments building it. All lessons learned and technologies developed during this 2-day hackathon are meant to be shared and reproduced, so that everyone can benefit from them. Bring your laptop and your ideas on how to improve your city to our first one-day workshop on June 9th! FYI: If you don't have a PayPal account, please contact info@hackdarmstadt.de. Hack Darmstadt 2017 is organized by a group of organizations and volunteers who advocate the idea of enabling citizens to create digital solutions for smarter cities.
