No experience in coding? Interested in queer identities and social media? To encourage new ways of thinking about and engaging with queerness and queer identities, the Hackathon will encourage creative engagement with the textual data gathered from the hashtag #Queer on Twitter. The event aims to give an introductory knowledge to python programming as well as bringing together people with different disciplinary backgrounds to analyse, process and display the data in imaginative ways, and discuss the meanings behind it. The day will begin at 9:30am with an introduction to the project by the coordinators of the event, and an outline of the dataset. There will be a short speed-networking session to build teams around shared ideas. From 11:00am Siân Brooke (Oxford Internet Institute) will run an introductory workshop into python Programming for absolute beginners using Anaconda/Jupyter Notebooks (*please bring your own laptops*). Instructions on setting up the necessary software for this workshop will be sent out in advance, and if you have any difficulties, please come to the event early so that we can assist you. Over lunch, teams will assemble to look over the data, think of ways to analyse the tweets and perhaps request additional input or resources. At the end of the day (4:00pm), teams will pitch their projects to the group and a prize will be awarded to the best project. At the end of the day, we'll head to the pub to chat and discuss ideas.

The DASA hackathon focus on improving the way how the UK Government investigate incidents through the application of Multimedia Analysis and Artificial Intelligence. Participants should be able to process large amounts of real-world incident multimedia data and rapidly identify key information and how entities relate to each other, putting togethert narrative, and near-term predictions for the key stakeholders in minutes.

Real-World Incident Response Hackathon Improving the way we investigate incidents through the application of Multimedia Analysis and Artificial Intelligence. For this event, we are looking to bring together the best from academia, industry and government in the defence and security arena. Participants will be asked to process large amounts of real-world incident multimedia data and rapidly identify key information for on-site experts - people, places, events, in fact anything that may assist an investigations team. We’re interested in how entities relate to each other, the event timeline and narrative, and near-term predictions. Data will mostly take the form of video which will be varied in quality, source, and format. Some will be live-streamed during the event. This is a unique opportunity for participants to demonstrate their ability to extract useful information and insights from large multimedia data sources which would help teams respond to incidents more quickly and effectively.  We expect the successful hackathon attendees to leverage Artificial Intelligence techniques including Machine Vision, Facial Recognition, and Object Recognition, as well as being able to process multimedia sources in a variety of formats from a variety of sources. Benefits of Attending Attendees of the event will network and collaborate with likeminded experts in their field creating teams to tackle a challenge that has potential commercial applications across a range of business sectors. It is your chance to: develop and test your digital product to boost its potential showcase your prototype to international defence and science professionals and technology experts seize the opportunity to take your solution to Minimum Viable Product (MVP) The team outputs will be assessed, and prizes awarded to the winners. The first prize is a guided tour through the underground Burlington Bunker in Corsham, Wiltshire. This is a unique opportunity to visit a complete underground city, built in the 1950s to house the UK’s entire cabinet in the event of a nuclear attack. This prize is subject to confirmation and suitability of the winners.

Will you be the next blockchain developer? Now is your chance to become one for FREE. Our overall aim is to train as many software developers as possible, provide our students the intuition on distributed systems, cryptography, the blockchain, smart contract security, real-world applications, hands-on coding experience and more... Due to popular demand and positive feedback from our students, we aim to run this boot camp monthly. We have trained over 430+ developers to date since Jan 2017. Our students have gone on to work as a blockchain developer, moved into the research field,  set up their own start-up in the blockchain space and some are now a core part of our workshop team. Our workshop consists of topics that all future blockchain developers must know with plenty of Q&A and we incorporate multiple coding sessions. To help our students further, we provide three month on-line support, students work on a group project and invite them back at the end of the 3 months to present their project to the whole class. 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 (chargeable). Some of the areas we cover but not limited to are: Day OneIntro 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 TWOSmart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals - Cryptography, Consensus, EVM, Privacy plus more...Smart Contracts Design and Best PracticesDeep dive on a bonus topic chosen by our students What to know as a Blockchain Developer plus more...Series of hands-on coding on Ethereum and Smart ContractsReview the feedback from previous workshops by clicking HERE. Pre-requisite: To qualify, 6 months of current coding experience is a must or either currently studying in their final year, about to graduate or recently graduated from a computer science/software engineering subject. This workshop consists of a series of hands-on coding exercise, hence as a minimum requirement, all our students must be proficient in writing code. We are looking for software developers/computer science students who are GENUINELY PASSIONATE about working in the blockchain space. You must be committed to attend the two day workshop followed by a commitment to work on a group project for 3 months which is conducted remotely together with your chosen group (4-5 hours per week commitment on the project). What's next after the workshop? We hope our students will continue to code and conduct their own research on Ethereum and other blockchain platforms. To help our students succeed, we allow up to three months for further Q&A in relation to Ethereum, Solidity, Smart Contracts, Security, Privacy, Scalability etc. We also have further coding sessions for our students to work on with our guidance. Our students are required to work on a group project and once completed, we will offer our services free of charge to audit the project code (if built on Ethereum) and provide guidance where necessary. Finally, we invite our students back to present their project to the whole class. Securing a job in the blockchain space:Don't worry, we've got you covered.
