Red Bull Basement Hatch | Technology igniting disability inclusivity
12 Nov - 06:00 PM
Sheffield, United Kingdom
Red Bull Basement Hatches provide a glimpse into the world of Red Bull Basement and the world of possibilities that technology offers to create social impact and solutions. The Red Bull Basement Hatch is an inspirational space where social innovators, creatives and enthusiasts of the future come together to exchange ideas on how to change the world for good through technology.
Whilst technology has a transformative impact on the lives of many, for the 13.9 million disabled people in the UK, technology truly can be magical. Whilst mainstream technology is constantly stepping up its game for disabled people, specialist products (also known as assistive technology) have also grown their user base. Some estimates predict that the global assistive technology market will be worth $26bn by 2024.
This Hatch event will explore and analyse technology of the past, present and future that has changed countless lives for the better though an evening of conversations and panels.
If you’re a maker, coder, designer, hacker, architect, engineer or any kind of creative using your skills to solve social and environmental issues then come along and enjoy inspiring conversations and networking opportunities with leading experts and change makers.

Health Hackathon

It is an excellent opportunity to shape the health service of the future, gain experience of multi-disciplinary team working and connect with senior professionals from health and tech across the Leeds City region.
Over the weekend of 11th – 13th October students are invited to enter a hackathon focussing on innovation in health services. It is an opportunity to work in multi-disciplinary teams to come up with novel solutions and prototypes – the prototypes might be tech based, service models or business plans – participants will present to a panel of industry and institutional leaders who will select the winning idea to receive a £1000 prize!
Ideas presented could be anything from an app that links people to others in their community, or a surgical innovation to support front line staff. As long as it is multidisciplinary and tangible and can be presented back in a ten minute slot then its up to teams to bring us their most innovative ideas. People can either join as teams, or as individuals who will then be placed into teams. Mentors will be available throughout the event to support and advise participants.
Student teams will have 24/7 access to the Leslie Silver library over the weekend and refreshments, including pizza in true hackathon style!
This will be a high profile event, providing excellent experience and a great coup on your CV, not to mention the opportunity to innovate within and improve health services in the Leeds city region!

Friday afternoon begins with scene setting, rules of engagement and introductions from key figures in health and tech across Leeds. Then we eat lots of pizza!
