List of hackathons in Oxford, United Kingdom in 2016

Chain of Things is exploring security for the Internet of Things. Understanding and fully mastering IoT security is critical to the industry’s development. The aim of this conference is to examine Chain of Things (CoT)’s first full stack industrial blockchain+IoT case study, discuss findings, and focus on better ways of coordinating partners. The current problem is that IoT is outpacing security and hacks are very common and increasing. As the world becomes more connected this risk is compounded and can become systemic. The solution could be Bitcoin because it is money open on the internet and still hasn’t been hacked. This hackathon will learn from bitcoin and blockchain technology to make IoT bulletproof! Come to the inaugural Chain of Things event to learn about the fundamental role of blockchain in IoT and see a real-live practical Case Study in action.

Come attend the hackathon for those who love playing with big data. Hack on projects that involve big amounts of data acquired through APIs or by scraping.  Use common tools such as Python and the Google App Engine.  All projects completed at the hackathon can be fully production ready.  Using AngularJS for mobile, a mobile app can be run natively and used publicly by the end of the hackathon. At the hackathon's conclusion, each team presents their project and each team votes for another team for best hackathon project.

This is ForsvarX's first experiment project together with Basement Innovation. The event is open to the public and enthusiasts. The purpose is to create an arena where the participants can gain insights into new ideas and help start-up businesses on the road to a tested products. Go from idea to prototype during this weekend and learn how to fly. The project is in collaboration with SOFWERX, Mil-OSS, Cellar Innovation, Startup Norway, Leading Change, Innovation Norway, Hack4Defence, Startup Weekend and Tech Stars. The event runs parallel, with Hackathon on SOFWERX in Tampa, Wright Institue in Ohio and Griffith Institute. You do not need previous knowledge to participate and will get access to resources. Examples of topics that can be selected are: GeograficSystems, Autonome Systems and Robots, Cyber, Workout, Etteretning, and Logistics. Note: This is not an event where companies can showcase their products. The event is an initiative of individuals. Ticket revenue goes to expenses such as local, stationery, food/drinks for participants and other administrative expenses.

Hack the human's senses to stretch and expand our limits in perception. This event will focus its attention on the sensory universes that insects, birds, reptiles and other animals inhabit. If our perception of the world is shaped by the sense organs we are equipped with then our view of the world is just one among a range of possibilities. How can we draw inspiration from the animal kingdom and build technologies that allow us to experience other sensory worlds? This event will bring you leading researchers of animal perception and an Oculus to get a VR taste of what it's like to be a honeybee. There will be a hackathon organized between 24-26 June at FabLab London, where you will get the opportunity to try creating new sensory substitution and augmentation devices.

This hackathon is about the health of young people in Hammersmith & Fulham. Many youngsters are struggling to obtain healthy eating and exercising habits and parents are finding it harder and harder to play actively with their children. Therefore, this event wants to challenge you to find new, creative and exciting ways to get young people and families to start eating well and moving more. Be part of a lasting change because your ideas could change lives!

AngelHack is coming to Manhatten with yet another hackathon to prove that anyone can code! No matter what age, race, gender, experience level, you are or have, you are perfectly able to create game changing applications and technologies that have never been imagined before. Creativity and willpower is the only thing that differentiates you. Mind and skill are what conquer all! Your challenge is simple. Build a technology that will have a positive impact on the world, people, or environment.

This is a free, hands-on workshop to enable participants to create a database driven web application with Flask (a microframework for Python) and SQLAlchemy (a Python SQL toolkit) using a Computational Thinking process.  On completion, participants will be able to teach their students how to create a simple web application using Python, Flask and SQLAlchemy as part of KS3-KS5 curriculum. The workshop will cover databases, networks, web applications and GUI aspects of the KS3-KS5 CS curriculum. You will learn how to use Flask and SQLAlchemy libraries, set up Python environment. display and get data with HTML forms, work with CRUD database actions, and putting all of these together (Web app + HTML + database) to create a simple database driven web application. The workshop is open to secondary school Computer Science teachers of with a basic to intermediary level of Python programming skills. No prior experience with SQLAlchemy and Flask is required. Attendees should bring their own laptops. All attendees will receive free individual access to Codio and course materials for 12 months. The workshop duration is 3 hours including a 30 min networking session with free snacks and refreshments.

Anvil Hack II is a student run hackathon focused on the creative applications of technology taking place at the Goldsmiths University of London. Any enrolled undergraduate or postgraduate student, or graduate less than a year out of university can attend this event. Use your skills to make something wonderful, arty, musical, or just plain old awesome. You'll be provided with food, drinks, electricity and WiFi, so that you can get on with the real work - making cool things!

This hackathon will brin together three countries, three time zones and three tech hubs. Crowd2Map Tanzania was one of 7 projects selected in the Open Seventeen challenge, which rallies the public to use open data as a means of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This event is part of the project, organizing a triple mapping day in Dar+London+Vilnius. This will be a fun hackathon between the three "camps", as all will compare the results at the end, and  bridge techies in the 3 locations via video conference and chat throughout the event across locations.

This is a hackathon on communication in education for developers, parents and early years teachers with ideas for edtech products for children aged 4 to 8. Your challenges will be to develop a literacy app or platform to help children to articulate and express their ideas and experiences verbally, to other challenges involved in school readiness including physical well-being and motor development, social and emotional development, approaches to learning, and cognition and general knowledge, creating a platform for parents to get connected to other parents.
