List of hackathons in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom in 2015

The University of Bradford is hosting an open data hackathon for developing prototype tools using the health related open data sets provided by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), for measuring the level of isolation among communities and individuals in oder to calculate which groups could be at risk of becoming socially excluded. Prizes will be awarded for the best and most innovative prototypes of the day.

  What?- We'll be holding a panel event, complete with Q&A, networking (games) and nibbles. The panel will feature 8 people from a diverse set of Science, Technology,Engineering and Maths (STEM) careers. Where? - We'll be at Campus North's offices in Newcastle. Full address is Campus North, Sunco House, 5 Carliol Square, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 6UF. When? - We'll be there at 6.00pm to start and hope to be finished by 8.00pm latest. Here's what happened one of the times we ran a panel event: YouTube   There are amazing women in the UK's Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) fields, but a lack of females rising to take their place in STEM. This diverse panel will be sharing their unusual STEM career paths and giving some top tips to current STEM students considering their options after school, college or university.  The event is open to all and promises to provide a fantastic opportunity to meet and network with real STEM professionals and discover new opportunities, all over light refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere. This event is sponsored and hosted by Tech North and Campus North       About the Stemettes - We run panel events, hackathons, workshops, exhibitions and a mentoring scheme for girls from 4 years old right up to female university students. We'd like to show them amazing women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics careers. Some of whom might wear heels or trainers, makeup and carry handbags just like any other woman!
