List of hackathons in Rabans Lane Industrial Area, United Kingdom in 2018

Will you be the next blockchain developer? Our overall aim is to train as many software developers as possible taught by internationally recognised experts, provide intuition on distributed systems, cryptography, the blockchain, smart contract security, real-world applications, hands-on coding experience and more... This event is brought to you by The Blockchain Connector, workonblockchain.com and VOLT Project. Thank you to Yoti  for kindly sponsoring our venue once again, you guys have been awesome to us :) Due to popular demand and positive feedback from our students, we are running a series of blockchain developer workshop in London for FREE. We have trained over 400+ developers to date since Jan 2017. A number of our students have either gone on to work as a blockchain developer or set up their own blockchain start-up. The need for blockchain developers is increasing. “Blockchain engineers are in high demand. 14 job openings for every one blockchain developer”. Source: Techcrunch, Feb 14th, 2018.  Join our free two-day workshop and be at the very forefront of this new technology. Our workshop consists of topics that all future blockchain developers must know and we incorporate plenty of hands-on coding sessions. To help our students further, we provide one month on-line support free of charge via our own dedicated private on-line channel. Our goal is to help regular software developers enter the blockchain space. This workshop is also available on-site for start-ups and corporates at your desired location. Some of the areas we cover but not limited to are: Day 1 Intro to Blockchains, Bitcoin and Byzantine Fault Tolerant Networks plus more... Intro to Ethereum and Smart Contracts plus more... Series of hands-on coding on Ethereum and Smart Contracts Day 2 Smart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals - Cryptography, Consensus, EVM, Privacy plus more... Smart Contracts Design and Best Practices What to know as a Blockchain Developer plus more... Series of hands-on coding on Ethereum and Smart Contracts Review the feedback from our last workshop by clicking HERE. Minimum requirement to enter the course To qualify, 6 months of coding experience is required or currently studying/recently graduated from a computer science/software engineering subject. This workshop consists of a series of hands-on coding exercise. With this in mind, as a minum requirement, our students must be proficient in writing code. Historically, our workshops were chargeable, but recently we offered the last two sessions for free to female developers. Moving forward, we have decided to offer free places to everyone (male, female, full time students etc.) BUT only to software developers/computer science students who are PASSIONATE about working in the blockchain space. Our goal is to equip our students with the knowledge required to become a blockchain developer and help our students secure a job in this exciting new space. We have built an on-line hiring platform due to go live on the 10th of Sept that will hopefully help you secure a job. Subscribe here for further updates www.workonblockchain.com As we will be offering two days of our valuable time and one month of online support, we are only able to offer a free place to those who are GENUINE about moving into this space.  What's next after the workshop? After the workshop, we hope our students will continue to code and explore the Ethereum platform, and in good time, we hope our students will have the opportunity to work professionally in the blockchain space. With this in mind, to help our students succeed, everyone have up to a month to ask further questions in relation to Ethereum, Solidity, Smart Contracts, Security, Privacy, Scalability etc. We have further coding sessions for our students to work on with our guidance during the one month support. Furthermore, we encourage our students to work on a personal project or form a team to create a project. Once the project is complete, we will offer our services free of charge to audit the code and provide guidance where necessary.  Right to cancel our workshop If we don't reach the minimum number of students for our workshop, we have the right to cancel and reschedule the date. We have a great line up of internationally recognised experts that will help you break into the Blockchain space.

Nick Johnson Nick Johnson is a Senior Software Engineer and has been working in the software engineering space for the past 16 years. Nick is currently working as a Software Engineer for the Ethereum Foundation and prior to this, he worked at Google for a number of years. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise in Solidity that he loves to share and will be teaching how to write and develop smart contracts during the hands-on development session, and will give students the opportunity to ask questions in relation to the Ethereum platform. Laurence Kirk After a successful career writing low latency financial applications in the City of London, Laurence was captivated by the potential of Blockchain Technology, and in particular smart contracts. Two years ago, Laurence moved to Oxford and set up Extropy.io, a consultancy working with start-ups in the UK and overseas, developing applications on the Ethereum platform. He brings with him a wealth of real world experience that he loves to share with those new to this area. Laurence hold a Physics degree from Durham University, and currently taking his MSc in Software Engineering at Oxford University. In addition to giving talks, mentoring at hackathons, and running groups about Blockchain Technology, Laurence also organise Artificial Intelligence and Data Science groups in Oxford. During the workshop, Laurence will be teaching Solidity (an object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts) from the simplest smart contract up to interacting with a web application. The focus is very much the practical techniques that are needed when developing on Ethereum. The sessions will be very hands on, encouraging students to practice and explore Ethereum and raise any questions students might have regarding the Ethereum platform. Matthew Di Ferrante Matthew is a Software Engineer with a passion for Information Security, Cryptography, and Distributed Networks. He has worked in many different areas, from hardware, embedded and kernel programming, to data mining, analytics, and network / systems programming. He first started learning programming at 12 years old, and is completely self taught, both on the practical side of programming, and on the theoretical side of computer science, mathematics, and cryptography. Matthew was first exposed to Bitcoin in late 2010 due to his interest in information security, as Bitcoin was first mainly used on darknets/Silk Road, and got fully involved in the Blockchain space around the time Ethereum started to exist - beginning his foray while living with Vitalik Buterin and long time friend Vlad Zamfir (Creator of Ethereum's Casper Protocol) in London for a few months. Matthew currently works as a Technical Lead at Clearmatics developing Blockchain Technology for financial use cases, a member of the Ethereum Foundation Security Team and FounderlLead auditor at Zero Knowledge Labs focusing on smart contracts security auditing. In his free time, Matthew works on personal hardware projects, gives Information Security and Blockchain related talks at various events, and organise one of the largest monthly Information Security events in the North-West. Matthew’s design for a Secure Oracles Reputation System on Ethereum recently won first place for Smart Contract Security at the Thomson Reuters HackETHon. Matthew will be introducing developers to the way the Blockchain works technically, and what its potential applications could be. He will cover the workings and history of the Bitcoin Blockchain, as well as Ethereum and its concept of smart contracts that allow Turing complete code to execute on a virtual machine on the Blockchain. Matthew will also talk about Smart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals. He will discuss the most important areas to know as a Blockchain Developer. Matthew will hold a Q&A session after each topic.

The Missing Maps project puts the most vulnerable places in the developing world on the map!  The most vulnerable places in the developing world are not mapped which means that first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. The aim of the project is to map the most crisis-prone parts of the developing world. With your help, we can directly improve the lives of some of the planet’s most vulnerable people. By contributing to this project, volunteers, like yourself, are able to facilitate the work of international and local NGOs who can use the data to better respond to crises. Both beginners and experienced mappers are welcome to join this mapathon! Interested in learning more whilst enjoying free Pizza? Come along to our third session on Tuesday 28th August at 5:30PM.

EDIT - This event is now SOLD OUT. There are a couple more dev-only tickets so contact the organisers if you are one. Livestream available from 10am here. HACK Fear is an interdisciplinary hackathon bringing together technologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, academics, hardware tinkerers, UX, gamers, activists with parkour and mindfulness practitioners to team up and experiment on designing and building out ideas and solutions to hack our own fear and develop our self awareness through technology. There will be: Interactive workshops, both physical and non Intensive hacking sessions where teams work on the design and implementation of a prototype that makes progress in hacking fear Input and feedback from subject matter experts Deeper work uncovering and moving past your own fears and shared ones We welcome coming both solo and as a team. Cross disciplinary teams will be created with the intent to maximise the potential towards successful fear hacking. The ideas that come out of Fear Hack could contribute towards R&D for the award winning work of Karen Palmer, who is currently in development for RIOT*, an emotionally responsive, film, which uses facial recognition and A.I. technology to navigate through a dangerous riot. Please note: Bring a laptop. The event will be livestreamed and remote listeners will have opportunities to input comments/requests. Inform the organisers if you do not want to be recorded. *RIOT: You are confronted by a riot cop. Respond with fear and the film goes in one direction respond with anger and it goes in another. RIOT makes the player aware of their subconscious behaviour and enables them to consciously build new neurological pathways in their brain, to override automatic behaviour responses and create new ones.

Girls and young women -- aged 5-22 -- with an interest in science, mathematics, and technology! If you'd like to create an app or game for your mobile phone, then Stemettes and Rise London invite you to participate in Stemettes Rise Hack #2. At this 2-day event, you'll be challenged to imagine and prototype a project to the theme: 'Using your money for good with the help of technology'. You don't have to be a coder -- you'll be taught how to create apps at the hack!
