On Thursday 6 june, VS Core Partner VENDIC is hosting the 11th Vue Storefront Hackathon. What makes this hackathon stand out even more is the workshop presented by VS onsite. You can also join this event remotely.  Official website: https://vuestorefront.io/events Sign up via Eventbrite!Contact Vue Storefront: contributors@vuestorefront.io Contact Vendic: marketing@vendic.nlVue Storefront is a standalone PWA storefront for your eCommerce. It allows you to connect with any eCommerce backend (eg. Magento, Pimcore, Prestashop or Shopware) through the API. Vue Storefront is open source, anyone can use and support the project. We want it to be a tool for the improvement of the shopping experience. ➡️ The VS core front-end team will be available for questions on the Slack channel.

Spine AI: detecting scoliosis in ordinary pictures using machine learning and image processing Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that develops during growth. This abnormality occurs in 1-3% of the children and worsens in 0.3 to 0.5% of all children so eventually an operation is necessary. This operation in children is necessary because these severe scolioses can continue to increase in later life, cause lung problems and can seriously affect the quality of life. On the other hand, smaller scoliosis usually remains stable in the rest of life. Because scoliosis has the greatest risk of becoming more severe during the growth spurt, further curvature can be prevented in children with brace treatment. That is why it is very important to discover scoliosis early. In the past, screening for scoliosis was part of the standard youth health care. The costs of this screening were estimated at about 3.5 million euros per year in the Netherlands in 2002. Because the screening for scoliosis turned out to be insufficiently effective, it has now been abolished in many countries, including the Netherlands. For Youth health care (JGZ) institutions in the Netherlands, screening is no longer mandatory and is no longer part of standard care. That is why scoliosis must now be noticed by parents. The outward characteristics of scoliosis become increasingly clear as the severity of the curvature increases. To be able to discover a mild curve, someone must be trained. Parents, however, are not trained in recognizing scoliosis. Therefore, our goal is to improve the feasibility of developing an app for the mobile phone or tablet to support both caregivers and parents in discovering mild scoliosis. In this hackathon, we will focus on detecting scoliosis in an anonymized set of ~400 pictures taken at OLVG of patients against a uniformly-colored background. The set was anonymized by extracting only the image gradients and foreground/background color distributions; the original imagery remains at OLVG. The gradient and color features may serve as rudimentary input to machine learning algorithms.  A set of challenges will be formulated, with varying difficulty levels. Also, there will be challenges, solving certain subtasks, that may not involve image processing but only analysis and modeling of structured data.

Data-driven Enzyme Design Enzymes are natural molecular machines that can perform the amazing feat of enabling and accelerating chemical reactions without themselves being consumed in the process. All living organisms on Earth depend on enzymes to process nutrients, to grow and to reproduce. Thanks to the development of modern biotechnology, enzymes can also be produced in large quantities and employed to speed up all kinds of industrially important reactions, ranging from stain removal by detergents to production of food, feed, and biomaterials. As our requirements for lower resource use get more demanding, we continuously need to improve our enzymes to make them more stable and effective. At DuPont Industrial Biosciences, we routinely screen thousands of enzymes to obtain models of the relationship between the sequence of amino acid residues that make up the enzyme, its 3D structure, and the observed performance.  In this hackathon, we will provide representative data for our challenge, describe the problem and discuss different approaches of how to employ techniques like deep learning to support enzyme optimization process. Join and help us design the enzymes of tomorrow!

The plan for participants is to: • Analyse data provided by HERE Student Sample Data and Eindhoven municipality • Create a map with HERE XYZ • Use our HERE Developer Portal for final solution related to the future of mobility with applicable API's and SDK's Technical support will be provided!! From 18:00, Tuesday 4th of June, we will move to the Your Future Festival to announce and reward the winners of the best solution from the hackathon! Prizes: iPads, drones and 360 camera to win!

Pick one of the challenges we face on a daily basis and create a new software application to resolve this issue. You and your team get 24 hours to realize this. We will provide food, drinks, (chill)rooms, and if needed a laptop, all at our office location in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Register as a team, or register individually to become part of this ultimate event. Assignments based on SAST OS for security camera's, Bosch conference systems and Bosch Industry 4.0.

HackDelft is the third hackathon organized by W.I.S.V ‘Christiaan Huygens’. Join 150 other students interested in math, computer science or design for 24 hours of learning, building, and having fun. We’re excited to work with our four premium partners to provide HackDelft-exclusive tools and data for you to hack with this year!

Op 10 en 11 mei 2019 hacken we samen met CBS, DUO, Ministerie van OCW, Universiteit Leiden, Hogeschool Leiden, MBO Rijnland, het voortgezet onderwijs en anderen. Op basis van open datasets werken we aan innovatieve oplossingen voor het vraagstuk: Hoe houden we jongeren bij het onderwijs zodat ze hun eigen talenten optimaal ontwikkelen en zich kunnen voorbereiden op de toekomst?

Social impact-makers opgelet! Wil jij helpen een sociaal relevant vraagstuk voor Utrecht te helpen oplossen? Meld je dan aan voor de hackathon 6 mei in de Social Impact Factory Utrecht.  Wanneer? Wij nodigen jou uit om mee te denken! Kom maandag 6 mei van 19:00 uur tot 23:00 uur naar de Social Hackathon in de Social Impact factory. Wij zorgen voor een actuele casus die aansluit bij de stad Utrecht en een borrel.  Wat is een social hackathon? Een Social Hackathon is een evenement waar je één dag samenwerkt met anderen om sociale ideeën verder uit te werken. Vaak blijven mensen hangen in de idee-fase, omdat ze niet het juiste netwerk hebben of niet weten hoe ze het kunnen realiseren. Wij brengen deze idee-fase terug naar één dag waar wij zorgen voor een netwerk en een concrete methodiek waardoor je met een groep mensen sociale ideeën na een paar uur verandert in een praktisch plan. Dit evenement wordt georganiseerd met Stichting social hackathon.  Over social hackathon De wereld mag wel een stukje eerlijker, althans dat vinden wij. Dat klinkt misschien heel groot en daarom beginnen wij klein. Stichting Social Hackathon helpen wij om sociale ideeën de wereld in te krijgen. We spreken zoveel mensen met mooie waardevolle ideeën, helaas blijven dit vaak alleen maar ideeën. Begrijp ons niet verkeerd, ideeën zijn prachtig maar zonder concrete uitvoering is het verspilde potentie. Precies daarom organiseren wij Social Hackathons.  Als je nog twijfelt, stuur ons dan een mailtje via doemee@sifutrecht.nl voor meer informatie. Wees er snel bij, er zijn namelijk maar een beperkt aantal plaatsen beschikbaar.
