The “Hackathon” for Educators Develop and Create a multi-disciplinary lesson plan that integrates technology, standards, data, and pedagogy through a creative problem-based collaborative learning environment. Get targeted training, so you can “pitch” present your group lesson plan while learning from each other.  Turn around the next day and implement a complete lesson in your classrooms!    What's a Hackaton?  The technology industry has been using the concept of a "Hackathon" for years--which is an event, lasting several days, in which many people meet to engage in collaboration to create something-- usually software and hardware technology within a certain theme. It is set up like a competition to encourage individual motivation will creating a team atmosphere. Sometimes, the Hack will have workshops to provide knowledge and skills needed to complete the tasks for the Hackathon. Besides technology, other industries are starting to adopt the Hackathon concept to create their product development.  What will the training look like?  Your days will be action packed with meaningful interactions with other educators and mentors. There are ToolBox sessons where you can learn about how to use the technology tools, standards, data, pedegogy, and design thinking.  The ToolBox sessions are custom designed for you based on your 21PDGuide. This assessment is used as a tool to help guide you through what types of future educator professional development is right for you throughout the year. The 21PDGuide helps create you find the right the best group for you to work with.   Thursday, June 29th 9:00 am-9:30 am-   Registration, Network, and Sitting 9:30 am-10:00 am-- Rules of #HackTheLesson 10 am-10:45 am-- Toolbox Session 1 10:45 am-11:15 am-- Exploration Break-- Special Talent 11:15 am -12:30 pm  Team Work Sessions-- 12:30 pm-1:30 pm--Team Working Lunch 1:30 pm-2:15 pm --Toolbox Session 2 2:15 pm-3:00 pm-- Social Strech and Snacks 3:00 pm-4:00 pm-- Workgroups--Roles and Goals--Mentors available 4:00 pm-4:30 pm -- WrapUp, Q&A Friday, June 30th  8:30 am-9:30 am-- Team Working Breakfast 9:30 am-10:15 am-- ToolBox Session 3 10:15 am- 10:30 am--Break and Stretch 10:30 am-12:30 pm-- Group Work Sessions--roaming mentors 12:30 pm -2:30 pm--Brown Paper Bag Lunch-- Teamwork 2:30 pm Documents Submitted 2:30 pm- 3:30 pm 10 minutes Pitches (this is based on 100 people/5 people to group) and Judging 3:30 pm-4:00 pm--Awards, Honors, and Thanks! 4:30 pm-7:00 pm --Happy Hour!  Go Home with Lesson Plans and Inspriation!  Seating is Limited!

They were big, high maintenance and hard to extend. Then developers came up with microservices and everyone knew they're better, even if no one really knew what "micro" really meant. These days a lot of companies are doing microservices using Docker. Docker is great as it takes away a pain point from developers who do no have to worry about infrastructure anymore. But even with Docker there are still a lot of boilerplate code that developers have to rewrite every time they implement a new service, in spite of known and best practice frameworks or SDKs. This is platform infrastructure code, like routing and other I/O Access. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just skip this part too? This is where Serverless Computing comes to the rescue. It is event-based and it lets developers focus on the actual service implementation. This talk gives you a brief introduction to Serverless Computing and shows how easily you can jumpstart and leverage all the power given by Azure Functions to start your first serverless service. UWP: New features in Creators Update and beyond by Sergii Baidachnyi In this session we will discuss new features that are available for developers since Creators Update including new user controls, changes in Composition framework, Mixed Reality API and so on. 15:10 - 16:10 Missing Children Society of Canada #Cloud4Good project by Nastassia Rashid This project was featured at Microsoft Build 2017. Children today are technology natives, harnessing technology to play, share, and learn. With this empowerment comes responsibility, both of parents and of the children themselves. Who kids chat with online and what they share can come at a price should it fall into the wrong hands. This challenge is something that keep the team at Missing Children Society of Canada (MCSC) up at night as more and more predators are using online sources to lure children. Last year 45,000 children in Canada went missing. Alongside //Build developers continued on a project started with MSCS and the Calgary police aimed to use technology and social media to help to find missing kids more quickly. The resulting application uses Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Azure Storage, Continuous Integration, Infrastructure as Code, Visual Studio Team Services, and App Service. The goal of the initial project was to enable MCSC to use automated Azure functionality to extract last-known coordinates, who the child was in contact with, and the sentiment of conversation from social-media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Attend this session to learn how Microsoft and Open source technology was instrumental in acquiring information from the social media to cut down research time from 30 days to 30 minutes to further aid police in the search for missing children. #Cloud4Good ASP.NET Core 2.0 & .NET Standard by Medhat Elmasry .NET Core 2.0 Preview 1 and Visual Studio 2017 Preview version 15.3 are available for immediate download.
