List of hackathons in Cranfield, United Kingdom in 2019

BUILD, Kingdom Code’s annual hackathon is back for 2019. In October, join Christian technologists from across the UK and beyond to share ideas and kick start projects that integrate our Christian faith and  technical skill sets. Whether you’re a developer, designer, project manager, branding/marketing expert, ideator or something else entirely, enjoy taking a weekend to meet and work with others who share your desire to see God glorified through technology. Here’s what people have said about previous BUILD events: "I got to work on [solving] a problem for Christians Against Poverty that could be genuinely useful… while learning new front-end technologies. "Seeing the excitement and passion in people as they took ideas from conception to a presentable prototype was inspiring." "It was such a highlight to meet other Christian developers and discussing God centered technologies." BUILD 2019 is being hosted by St. John’s in Hoxton. St. John’s sits minutes away from Silicon Roundabout, London’s tech hub. They have long been a supporter of Kingdom Code and we’re really excited to be able to host the hackathon with them. Details about the 2019 challenges are coming soon, however to whet your appetite, check out some of the challenges from previous events: In 2017 Christians Against Poverty asked us “how can digital tools enable churches to serve the poor and save the lost in their local communities?” Home for Good asked “how could Home for Good better use digital tools to inspire people, support them in their fostering and adoption journey and enable them to be part of a growing movement?

The hackathon in London is hosted by Kingdom Code, a not-for-profit group, with a passion to help Christians in technology find encouragement and collaborate. Over half the budget will be met by the generosity of sponsors. Are you going to feed me?Yes! You'll be well fed over the course of the weekend. We'll eat together Friday dinner through to Saturday evening. There will be plenty of snacks and caffeine on tap. Is there a student discount?Maybe... if you ask nicely! Snap a photo of your student ID / NUS card and send us a tweet (@kcodeuk) and we'll see what we can do for you. Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?Kingdom Code is on Facebook and Twitter, send us a message there and we'll get back to you ASAP. Can I update my registration information?Yes! Just log into Eventbrite and update your information. I heard rumours of a cat...Alas, not this year. The new venue has no church cat (maybe a few church mice though…) Are there refunds?Sorry, we can't do refunds, however the tickets are transferable, so feel free to pass your ticket on to someone else (just remember to update the name on the ticket). Is there an age limit for the event?There is no age limit for the event, however under 18's must be accompanied by a legal guardian and cannot stay overnight. 24 hours? What about sleep?While some people will be working for the full 24 hours (caffeine provided in the ticket cost) it is certainly not expected! Don't worry you can go to sleep. We've set aside seperate rooms (including the church crypt) to put out a rollmat and catch some

This one-day hackathon will join researchers together in small teams to work with socio-ecological data. Facilitated by experienced R programmers and quantitative researchers this day is a great opportunity to learn new analytical skills while working with new people on interesting data driven challenges. The day is being led by the Quantitative Ecology SIG in partnership with the Citizen Science SIG and will see small teams work together on challenges that combine ecological and sociological data. These challenges might seek to answer a research question, design an R-package to access data, or advance a statistical method. There will be a range of challenges to join on the day so you will have the chance to pick one that best suits what you want to learn. Anyone is able to submit an idea for a challenge so if you have an idea you would like to work on please add it to the live document. Throughout the day facilitators will be on hand to answer your questions and support your projects, including how to build R-packages, how to write reproducible code, and how to build shiny apps. At the end of the day teams will have a chance to present their work to the rest of the teams. 09:30 Introduction to the day  09:40 Talk by Anna Krystalli - "Adventures in open code and data" 10:00 Self-sorting into teams 10:20 Hacking 12:30 Lunch 13:00 Hacking 16:00 Presentations 17:00 Awards

Hacks/Hackers London X Count - Data Hackathon Hacks/Hackers LDN is delighted to be partnering with Count for a special event this October. Come and practise your analytics skills and meet fellow data enthusiasts at this fun, informal hackathon totally free of charge! Count is a new data publishing platform changing how we interact with data online. The Count team want to put an end to the dry, uninspiring data files that litter our websites and instead turn them into beautiful, engaging content which anyone (whether data enthusiasts or beginners) can explore, share and discuss all in one place. What will we be doing and who's it for? This free event is for people who enjoy making new discoveries using data and want to develop and test their data skills. We will work in groups (or individually) to uncover interesting and surprising insights about specific challenges set by the hosts. There will be a choice of datasets for you to pick from on the evening. We will: Familiarise ourselves with the datasets (many of which are exclusively prepared) and identify what questions you want to ask Analyse and interpret the data Share back our findings and see what others have discovered Bring your laptops and chargers as this will be an interactive session!   People of all levels of analytical experience are welcome, you don't need to be a data expert already. We will be running the event using Count (count.co, @counthq), a new data publishing platform which makes it easier and quicker for anyone to explore data online and share their discoveries. It only takes a few minutes to learn, so don't worry if you've not used it before. You will be able to prepare data tables within Count to download for use in other tools, if you prefer. Venue IDEALondon, 69 Wilson Street, London, EC2A 2BB After entering the building on Wilson Street, go to the IDEALondon cafe area on the ground floor, then downstairs to the event space.  IMPORTANT Due to the nature of this event, we have a strict limit to the number of people we can admit into the venue.  We do understand that sometimes people need to cancel at the last minute.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based charity that works to put the power of computing and digital making into the hands of people all over the world. Hundreds of thousands of young people regularly use our free, detailed, and engaging educational resources to learn computing and digital making skills. To reach even more young people, especially in communities that may not yet have access to high-quality computing education, we need to translate these resources into a wide variety of languages. To celebrate International Translation Day on 30 September, we are organising a translation hackathon at our headquarters in Cambridge, where we hope to bring together the wonderful people of Cambridge to help us translate as many of our educational resources as possible. Please join us if you speak fluent English and another language, and have some basic knowledge of Python, HTML, and/or Scratch. You don’t need any translation experience — our translation team will provide you with help and support. Together, we can break down the language barriers in computing education.

It is a competition that gathers programmers with different skill sets to work collaboratively, on a software project, which creatively solves various problems on a given topic. Who’s behind the Global Travel Hackathon? The idea was born at Kiwi.com, however, each of the hackathons has a different organiser. Please, consult the web page to see who’s the main organiser of the hackathon you are interested in. What should I build?The general theme of the Global Travel Hackathon is sustainability, accessibility and community in the world of travel.  In order to participate, do I need to stay for the whole 24 hours?We don't force anyone but we higly recommend that to enjoy the time to the top. Is there a hashtag? Yes, it’s #HackTravel. Can I get support to travel to a hackathon? We do not provide travel support to attend a hackathon of your choice. You are free to organize a hackathon in your city by yourself – if you would like to, let us know here. How big can my team be?From two to four people. Can I get a head start on my hack?To ensure a level playing field for all participants, all code and assets must be created during the hackathon. Failure to comply with this rule may result in the offending team's disqualification. Nevertheless, feel free to make plans, create wireframes, and brainstorm ahead of the event. Can I use external APIs, services, and SDKs?You are encouraged to use any 3rd party services, APIs, open-source projects, libraries, and frameworks as long as they are publicly available on the web. We offer our public API's that you can find on our B2B platform Tequila, so you can use our resources to take the travel experience to a new level.

What if I don't know how to code?You are still welcome! As long as you come willing to learn and ready to contribute ideas, you can contribute to a team. But your team must have at least one developer because you will be evaluated on the technical solution of a demo you deliver in those 24 hours. What are the demos like?You'll have 180 seconds to pitch your idea and demo to a panel of judges. You'll be provided with AV support, a microphone, and a projector. The specific criteria of the evaluation process will be presented in August 2019. What we know for sure, is that one of the criteria would be the technical solution.
