List of hackathons in Chelmsford, United Kingdom in 2020

Get together and create games in one weekend at Goldsmiths, University of London. Open to all, internal and external to Goldsmiths.

Gaming enthusiasts in the UK! Come and participate in the Global Game Jam 2020 at the SAE Institute in London. This is the world's largest game jam event, where you can collaborate with like-minded gamers to create awesome new games! You're invited to explore new tools and test your skills by designing, creating and testing your own new game — all in less than 48 hours.

Climate emergency believers in the UK! Creatives, UX/UI/UR, developers, data engineers, data scientists, students, and industry professionals! Valtech UK invites you to participate in The Climate Emergency Hackathon. At this two-day event, you'll get to work within a team of like-minded individuals to develop a data-driven solution to a climate emergency challenge. Pitch your team's project for a chance to win recognition and prizes.

This workshop will introduce you to PyTorch and show you how to use pre-trained models to implement AI as quickly as possible.

Data scientists and hackers in the Greater London Area! The Archives at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew invites you to explore and experiment with the historical datasets and images relating to trailblazing botanist and explorer Sir Joseph Hooker. You'll be challenged to design and prototype imaginative ways in which digital tools can be used to access these sources and provide new ways of understanding this historical data.

For the first time, Kew Gardens areofferinghistorical datasets and images relating to Joseph Hooker, inviting you to explore imaginative ways in which digitaltools can be used toexperiment withthese sources and provide new ways of understanding this historical data. Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817 – 1911) was a trailblazing botanist and explorer. Detailing plant diversity and economic botany throughout his many expeditions, he remains an influential figure to modern botanical science. The legacy of Hooker’s work can be seen throughout Kew: from the new plant specimens he introduced to Kew, as most notably seen within the Rhododendron Dell, to the dried specimens, museums objects, publications and illustrations which are housed within Kew Gardens. Many parts of these valuable collections have been digitised by the respective departments in Kew which house these collections to improve access to these resources. The challenge for this Hackathon is to use digital humanities tools to explore the Hooker related data, primarily relating to his collecting trip to India, at Kew. Participants will work together in teams to find diverse ways to connect, analyse, visualise and interpret the data, and at the end of the day will present their ideas in a ‘show and tell session’.

Let's save the planet in under 48 hours! Design jam to conquer the UN Climate action goals.

XR enthusiasts -- developers, designers, researchers, and specialists in the UK! You're invited to apply to participate in the weekend-long the VIVE Developer Jam - London. If your application is accepted, you'll get to collaborate with like-minded techies to experiment and create the next generation of XR applications. Come as part of a team, or join one at the event. You'll be challenged to use VIVE hardware, including SDKs like eye/lip and hand tracking to create an innovative virtual reality project -- a game, art experiment or enterprise prototype -- that redefines how people interpret and interact with VR.

Kingdom Code is a community of Christian technologists from across the UK seeking to use our skillsets for God. Each October we meet for a 24 hour hackathon, but we don't want to see the projects that were kicked off there get forgotten about… we want to keep the energy that was sparked there going. Here's the plan - We'll be at ARK Co-Working from 6.30pm, kicking the evening off properly at 7pm getting the Bible out and spending 15 minutes encouraging one another from God's word. We'll then take some time to tell each other about the projects that we're working on, then the rest of the evening is hacking on the different projects. Bring a side project, bring an idea, or just come as you are and help someone else with their project. Bring dinner with you (there's a Pizza Union, Five Guys, Tesco, McDonald, etc very close). We'll provide drinks and sweets! We've got the venue to late - there's no obligation to stay all the way through to 11pm though! Leave when you want to call it a day!

Join us for the upcoming HTC Vive Developer Jam in London, a weekend developer event to experiment and create the next generation of XR applications. Using the latest in VIVE hardware, including forward-thinking SDKs like Eye/Lip and Hand tracking, we challenge you to redefine how people interpret and interact with Virtual Reality. Whether you want to build a game, art experiment or enterprise prototype, we'll have all the workshops, mentors and space you need to do something extraordinary. Bringing together a mixture of software developers, designers, researchers and specialists to create the newest XR prototypes the Vive Developer Jam is one of the latest developer-focused initiatives from Vive. Please note that this is an expression of interest and those who apply for tickets will be notified if their application has been successful. You must be able to attend both days to take part in the jam. If you have any questions please send us an email at vivedeveloperjam@htc.com or check the frequently asked questions below: EVENT FAQ
