CITYTHON Barcelona 2018 Are you a master’s degree or postgraduate student in Telecommunications, Data Science, Urban Planning, Architecture, History, Sociology, or Cultural Management? Try to solve Barcelona’s gentrification problems by participating in Citython Barcelona 2018 and win big awards! The results will be open to the public and the winners will present their solution on the Barcelona City Council stand during the Smart City Expo. FAQs What is a hackathon? A hackathon is a sprint-like event in which small groups of young professionals search for innovative, creative solutions to everyday problems. The result could be a program, a prototype, a test model, a tool, a design solution, or a concept. What is Citython Barcelona?        A 3-day hackathon in Barcelona that brings together creative and inquisitive minds to solve the gentrification problem in the historic centers of Barcelona. Young professionals from the fields of urban, human, computer, and data sciences will be brought together in the same place for fun and an intense session of co-creation, hacking, and collaboration. The difference from a typical hackathon is that Citython requires the analysis of urban data to understand a problem and reach a conclusion. What is a TechPill? A TechPill is a short but definitive training/knowledge session on a certain topic (each will last around 30 minutes). The TechPills will offer you cutting-edge knowledge about Open Data, data analysis and visualization and gentrification so you can come up with the best ideas. When and where will Citython Barcelona 2018 take place? The Citython will take place at a former factory, Ca l’Alier, in the Poblenou neighbourhood. The exact address of the building is Carrer de Pere IV, 362, 08019 Barcelona. On the first day (6 November 2018) all participants will meet in the hallway at Ca l’Alier at 15:00. On the second and third day (10 and 11 November 2018) all participants will meet in the hallway at Ca l’Alier at 08:00. For more information, read our agenda. What do i need to bring with me? Please bring: o Your ID, which you must carry throughout the event.   o Any device you think you may need for your projects (smartphones and laptops are highly recommended.) o You do not have to worry about food. We have arranged that. What are the participation requirements? You have to meet the following requirements: o You must be at least 18 years old during the event.   o You must apply as an individual here. Registration starts on 9 October and ends on 5 November. o You must have a background in at least one: urban, human, computer, or data sciences.

Are you curious about how IoT development works? Have you been thinking about building an IoT project? Or maybe you're already an experienced hardware hacker looking to take your skills to the next level? Join resin.io for a workshop + hackathon and learn how to build IoT projects using powerful development tools from the web and cloud. We'll use Docker and resin.io to write, build & deploy software for Raspberry Pis to control LEDs, take input, read from sensors, and more. We'll share some sample projects to get you started, but what you build is completely up to you! For this workshop you will be using a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Sense HAT. As an attendee you need to bring a laptop you can develop on, but you'll receive all the IoT hardware required, both to use in the workshop and to keep for yourself afterwards, so you can continue with your projects later. FAQs Will there be food provided? Yes, we will provide lunch, and plenty of snacks, drinks, and coffee. Do I need to bring a laptop at the hackathon? Yes, please bring your own laptop to the hackathon! And don't forget a charger. Can I bring my own hardware to use at the hackathon? Definitely! It helps, though, if you check what sort of devices are currently supported on resin.io. And remember that we'll have hardware kits available for all attendees to use and keep.  How can I prepare myself for the hackathon? If you're completely new to resin.io and/or the Internet of Things, don't worry! We'll go step-by-step through everything you need to get started. However, if you want to make the most of your time and the expertise we'll have on hand, there are a few things you can do beforehand to hit the ground running: Know the basics of working in a Linux terminal (on Windows 10? Go here first) Install Git and learn a few basics. We'll use Git to deploy code to your devices Install Etcher. Etcher will be used to flash your SD card with resinOS Generate a public SSH key. This is needed to securely git push to resin.io Create a resin.io account Create an application for the Raspberry Pi 3 device type, and download the latest resinOS image. We recommend you download both a .dev and a .prod image to use at the hackathon.  With this list completed, you'll have all the tools you need to dive into the workshops. And you if want to be super prepared, take some time to learn about the technologies you'll be working with: Beginner's Guide to the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT projects How does resin.io work? Are there examples of projects I'll be able to work on? We've got a handful of projects that have everything you need to deploy to your device without modification. These are great for getting familiar with resin.io, and they can serve as a base for your project: A base application for Sense HAT projects  A simple web server for controlling the Sense HAT with Amazon's Alexa Snake on the Sense HAT—uses the joystick and built with Node.js Tunnel game on the Sense HAT—uses the orientation sensors and built with Python A Sense HAT binary clock There's also a couple of libraries to make developing with the Sense HAT easier:  Python library NodeJS library What's the schedule for the day? It'll be flexible, but you can expect something like: 10:30am: doors open 11-11:30am: welcome and intro to resin.io 11:30am-12:30pm: getting started with resin.io 12:30 - 1pm: developing on resin.io  1-1:30pm: lunch 1:30-2pm: quick intro to hardware, sense HATS, and sample projects 2-7pm: hardware hacking! 7pm: project show and tell  Code of Conduct We want to create a friendly and welcoming environment for all hackathon participants. We expect participants to be respectful and thoughtful in their behavior towards one another. We will not tolerate any harassment based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental or physical disability, appearance, religion, level of knowledge and experience, or any other attribute. We reserve the right to dismiss any attendees who exhibit unwelcome, disruptive, or hostile behavior.

Want to try the new trendy IoT protocol? What is it We organise a one-day hackathon at the IoT Solutions World Congress on the 17th of October, in the Congress area ROOM 5.3 (CC5). The hackathon is meant for people to imagine and create applications using the new Wize technology. During this hackathon people will: be able to “play” with AllWize devices, namely with the AllWize K1, create a functional prototype and design a business model, present at the end of the day their project in a pitch competition. How to do it Participants will gather in groups, preferably with different and complementary profiles (technical, communication, business, software, hardware). They will have to create a solution to a problem using our device, the AllWize K1, and sensors that we will provide. This prototype should be functional from both a technical and business point of view. Participants of the winning group of the competition will win a prize. Who can participate Anyone that wants to try our new technology can participate! You can be a maker, a developer, a hardware engineer, a business person, a communicator, literally anyone that is curious about Wize :) What you get Entrance to the exhibition site Leonardo Arduino (for paid tickets) AllWize K1 (for paid tickets) Catering Some goodies  Our goal is not to make money out of this event nevertheless we need to cover the price for the exhibition and the boards :) Agenda 9:00 - 10:00 // Presentation of AllWize and the rules of the hackathon 10:00-10:30 // Coffee break and team up! 10:00 - 13:00 // Each team creates an application made possible with AllWize 13:00 - 14:00 // Lunch break provided by us! 14:00 - 17:00 // Finishing of applications 17:00 - 18:00 // Prepare your pitch! 18:00 - 18:30 // Pitch competition 18:30 - 19:00 // Prize giving & networking A little more about AllWize (and Wize) AllWize creates hardware IoT solutions using the new Wize protocol. This protocol is a standard since 2017 but has been successfully used for more than a decade by companies such as Suez and GRDF - meaning that the network infrastructure is sound and already deployed. This new IoT protocol has shown amazing results such as an extremely low battery consumption (up to 20 years in metering) and a very deep radio penetration. These abilities enable new IoT applications that were not possible before! At AllWize we aim at making it possible for companies and makers to use the new Wize protocol for their IoT applications with a simple device. This event is organised in collaboration with AllWize, the Wize Alliance and is part of Suez Innovation Week. For more information, please check our website: www.allwize.io
