Data scientists, coders, business tinkers, creative types! Come and help create mobility solutions for the future. Participate in the Smart Transport Hackathon and set your mind and skills to create ideas and prototypes that address key developmental needs within the UK’s transport network.

The Memory Palace Hackathon's main aim is for you to develop a software that will allow individuals to build memory palaces in virtual reality or a 3D modeled environment on a 2D screen. Human memory is significantly better adapted to learning spaces and images than it is to learning textual and numerical information. For millennia, memory techniques have been developed and leveraged in oral cultures to store huge amounts of information in human memory through association with space and image. While the core principles of memory palaces can be learned quickly, their application to specific subjects and disciplines remains elusive. By creating a means of building memory palaces in virtual reality, the entire process can be transmitted and demonstrated faster, more effectively, and with digital – as well as human – memory storage. Users will be able to see their own and other people’s memory palaces, as well as be able to create their own memory palaces with built-in guidance and step-by-step instruction. This event will require developers familiar with Ruby programming language and preferably with Sketchup itself. The goal is to code the steps and functions that allow teachers to create instructional modules and students to add their own associations and build their own memory palaces.

The ART//GAMES//HACKATHON is an intensive workshop welcoming all artists, coders and technologists to team up, collaborate and develop prototypes for game art projects.  This hackathon is part of Europeana Space, a large EU-funded project, which examines the creative reuse of online content across a range of media and art forms. The three winning projects will receive further mentoring from Simon Cronshaw from Remix and the chance to participate in a Business Modelling Workshop to further shape their projects and develop business plans. These three finalists will then compete for three months of tailored business incubation from world-class industry leaders.

Madanyu is inviting you to join a hackers day at King's College to take on computer challenges to solve problems that we face when working with schools and learning centres across the world!
