This CATCH workshop on Technology for Independence will include a full programme including an inspiring invited speaker and presentations on a range of topics including: innovative switch developments; Specialist NHS England Environmental Control services update; outcome measures for Environmental Control; innovative communication aid developments; and assistive technology hackathons. CATCH have also secured support from Pitch-In (see below for more details) to run an afternoon session focusing on the Internet of Things and internet connected assistive technologies. There will be opportunity to discuss how you see the IoT working with the 'kit' you use in the future and also how your devices currently use the internet/network connectivity. We will also be looking to involve AT developers/suppliers. Simon Wheatcroft has confirmed he will present as the invited speaker. Simon lost his sight in his teenage years but Simon not only navigates his everyday life, but also runs outdoors with only a Smartphone app called Runtracker and his remaining senses as a guide. Indeed Simon has competed in ultra-marathons around the UK, and continues to test himself in other parts of the world, including New York and a North African desert! In addition Simon has taken advantage of his unique skill-base and assisted leading technology companies with their products; by improving accessibility through inclusive user-centric design. PROGRAMME Morning Session 9.30: Opening of event - Simon Judge, Barnsley AT Team /CATCH 9.35: Pitch-in - Luc de Witte, CATCH 9.40: Technology enabling the impossible! - Simon Wheatcroft 10.20: Hackcessible: A case study on stimulating user led innovation in Assistive Technology - Aejaz Zahid, Assistronix / Barnsley AT Team /CATCH 10.40: BREAK 11.00: An innovative switch based on the Raspberry Pi and computer vision - Christos Christoforidis, Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospital NHS Foundation Trust 11.20: VocaTempo: evaluation of a voice-input voice-output communication aid - Kate Fryer, Aejaz Zahid, Stuart Cunningham, Sid Seghal, Mark Hawley, Simon Judge - Barnsley Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust & CATCH 11.40: The development of an outcome measure for provision of environmental control equipment - Kathryn Thom, Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust 12.00: NHS England Specialist Environmental Control Services – where are we now? - Zoë Clarke, Carolyn Young, Alan Woodcock; Barnsley Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 12.25 : What is the role of conferences in the Assistive Tech field?

As part of this initiative, we are running a series of workshops in order to: (i) promote awareness of IoT to the health/care sector; (ii) provoke a discussion about the concerns raised by and the barriers to its application; and (iii) identify possible applications of IoT and collaborations that will take forward those ideas. As part of the workshop on Monday 17th December, we would like to include some short demonstrations of ‘real’ applications of IoT technologies to make the concept more concrete for attendees. We have in mind any system comprised of connected devices which share data about the people, things and places around them, along with mechanisms to aggregate and analyse that data, and then to take appropriate actions in order to improve the state of people or their environments. Here we’re specifically interested in systems that are intended to improve the health, wellbeing or independence of users. Note that these systems need not be ‘user facing’, e.g. be for resource usage monitoring or more efficient automatic environmental controls. If you have such a system and would like the opportunity to demonstrate it during the workshop, please get in touch with Stephen Potter - Stephen.Potter@sheffield.ac.uk.

We launched in June and then met again in August - with #TechTea beginning in September.  November will be the start of events every two months where we'll begin to put into action what we've learnt from Sheffield women in technology so far. Each event will have time to chat and and, if networking isn't your thing and sends a shiver down your spine, don't be put off! There'll be friendly faces looking forward to saying hello and introducing you to people.  What will the event involve? 17.30  Doors open for drinks, snacks and chat. 18.00  Talks start (see below for more details). 19:30  Over to you. Please bring along any Sheffield women in tech news you have to pass on, events to advertise, questions to ask or ideas to share.      There'll be time for more drinks, snacks and chat until we close at 20.00 No, I fly them - Shehla Ali Shehla Ali is a freelance digital marketeer, drone photographer and a Google Digital Garage trainer. Shehla also runs Cameratic, a blog she created to showcase her photography, filming and copy writing, as well as Drone 360, where she creates aerial photography.  Shehla will talk about her rollercoast ride since quitting her job two years ago to work remotely and travel.  Since then she has set up multiple companies, further developed her knowledge of technology and experienced working in male dominated environments.  If you're a budding creative who doesn't know where to start or more experienced but stuck in your comfort zone, this talk may give you a quiet and gentle push to start moving.   A series of fortunate blags - Tanya FIsh Tanya Fish has been enthusing about science and making in some form or other for most of her life. She's written tutorials, magazine articles, and educational materials. She's talked about making to all sorts of audiences, including the Guild of Makers Launch, Hackaday Unconferences, and at Maker Faires. She runs workshops at festivals, conferences, and universities; and has just ventured into YouTube. In this talk, Tanya explains how being out of your depth is an advantage, how you are worth more than you think and how there is no such thing as modesty when you're bigging yourself up. Coding and hackathon(ing) - Kat Walker and Darren Vong Kat Walker is a Computer Science student and demonstrator at Sheffield University and a Code First Girls Instructor.  Darren Vong is a Full Stack Developer at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and a lead instructor at Code First Girls.

The small but important print Everyone is welcome. You don’t have to work in digital right now, you don’t have to identify as a woman, you don’t have to know how to code or how to explain bitcoin. You do have come in, be open and ready to participate in bringing about positive change. Babies and children are welcome to attend with a (vaguely) responsible adult.  If you can’t make the event and would like to be kept updated, sign up to our mailing list or follow and join in on Twitter @ShfWIT.   Kindly sponsored by Egress.

The first Leeds Blockchain Hackathon is here, and you’re invited. #LBH2018 is the ultimate event for learning, hacking and networking for teams of budding coders, developers, tech enthusiasts and people from all areas of the vibrant tech community in Leeds. The grand prize will be awarded for the most ambitious, impressive or fully realized prototype and we’ll have experienced judges from business and academia and mentors to encourage and support all participants. If you're a newbie, don't panic! There will be technical experts on hand to help you build your project. Oh and, we're bringing for the beer and pizza. For 48 hours!
