List of hackathons in Madrid, Spain in 2017

Developers, designers, techies in and around Madrid! You're invited to participate in the Time2Hack Chamberí hackathon. You'll collaborate with like-minded individuals on a team to design and prototype an innovative and entrepreneurial technology solution to a given neighborhood or environmental issue. The problem you solve is up to you and your team.

Un hackathon es una experiencia intensiva e inmersiva de creación ágil de prototipos y de soluciones tecnológicas con formato de concurso y en tiempo limitado.  A su vez, también es un evento en el que grupos de personas interesadas en un problema o tema planteado, que actúa como hilo conductor, proponen y diseñan prototipos que den solución a las hipótesis planteadas, comparten conocimiento y asisten a talleres de innovación relacionados con la temática del Hackathon. A un hackathon, se puede ir a participar en el concurso, para lo que hay que estar dispuesto a formar parte de alguno de los equipos que se crearán en el propio evento. Las y los participantes se irán integrando en los equipos y adoptando roles necesarios para llevar a cabo el desarrollo de la idea y su prototipo de demostración en el tiempo asignado. Al final del evento, los equipos presentan sus ideas, prototipos y desarrollos ante un jurado. Otras formas de participar pueden ser ir a aprender del resto de participantes, a enseñar al resto aquello en lo que más puedas aportar o meramente a dar ideas que respondan a necesidades de la temática elegida. ¿Qué es el hackathon It’s Time to Hack 2ª edición?

The Annual Meeting of the Open edX Community The Open edX project is a learning experience platform originally created by edX, a nonprofit online initiative created by founding partners Harvard and MIT and composed of dozens of leading global institutions. This event is focused on sharing knowledge among members of the global Open edX community. We will discuss innovative uses across higher education, training and lifelong learning, instructional design and course production techniques, and methods for operating, extending and enhancing the Open edX platform. In previous years, 200 developers, educators, and decision-makers for educational and training initiatives who work with or want to learn more about the Open edX platform gathered to share, learn, and celebrate the platform. Our keynote speakers this year are: Anant Agarwal, CEO and founder of edX Nick van Dam, Global CLO, McKinsey & Co. Vincent Zimmer, founder of Kiron Our full schedule is online -- to learn more, dive into each of our tracks on our online schedule: Innovative courses Analytics and research Corporate & Professional Learning Trends Course authoring & MOOC production Operations and technical deep-dives All attendees of the Open edX conference must abide by the conference's code of conduct. Location Universidad Carlos III Madrid (UC3M) has been an innovator in the area of MOOCs and an enthusiastic supporter of the Open edX project for many years. We are excited to explore beautiful Madrid and it's many sights, including: The Prado Museum, a short walk from the central Atocha train station and the conference hotels Gran Via, the central road through the old city of Madrid Lots of great food, wine and more! Hands-on days We are currently in the process of confirming space for our technical "hands-on" days the day before and after the main conference. We are planning to have two hands-on days: the day before the main conference and the day after. Tuesday, May 23: Tutorials The day before the conference, we are planning to host community-driven tutorials, including a developer environment "installfest" and tutorials on a variety of technical topics. Friday, May 26: Project day and training In past years, we have hosted a hackathon in conjunction with the Open edX conference. This year, due to time constraints, we will host a "project day" where edX and community engineers can share their project ideas, collaborate on designs, pair program and get feedback. We will have a short kickoff and wrap-up to share your project ideas and what you accomplished and learned during the day. You can share your idea for a project on the Open edX conference wiki. We will also be hosting a one-day introductory course author training for anyone interested in learning or getting a refresher on the basics of creating courses using Studio. Please indicate your interest in attending the hands-on day activities when you register. Conference Hotels in Madrid The location of the conference is in Leganés, a 25 minute train ride from the main train station in Madrid. We expect many attendees will be interested in exploring Madrid before and after conference proceedings, recommend three NH Hotels. All are within a 10-15 minute walk to the Atocha train station. From the train station, it is a 10 minute walk to the campus of UC3M. Please note that there are two different rates for each of the three hotels. The first rate includes room and breakfast, the second includes room only. Please keep in mind that a buffet breakfast will be provided at the conference on both days. Staying in Leganés If any conference attendees choose to stay in Leganés, edX recommends the TRYP Madrid Leganés Hotel, just a few blocks from the UC3M campus. We toured this hotel and can recommend it, but we are not providing a discounted rate or reserved block of rooms.
