List of hackathons in Uppingham, United Kingdom in 2018

HackTheMidlands 3.0 is a 24-hour, inclusive hackathon being hosted in Birmingham on the 3rd/4th November 2018 at Millennium Point. We're super excited to be back for our 3rd iteration, and we'd love to have y'all join us! But what is going to happen at the event? Over the 24 hours, people aged 14+ of all skill levels (you don't have to be a professional or a student! Just be lovely, passionate and interested in tech!) will come together to share ideas, and create new and awesome projects! (Not sure what a hackathon is? MLH have a great explanation here). There'll also be fun minigames, challenges and free food/drink to make sure you have an absolutely wonderful time. But I don't have any experience - I won't be any good! Nonsense - Everyone has to start somewhere, and we will have mentors at the event to help you along. One of the most awesome qualities of hackathons is the sheer number of lovely people that you'll meet at them, so no matter your skill level or expertise, you'll always be able to have an awesome time, pick up loads of new skills, and make new friends!

On the afternoon of Wednesday 17 October at 2.00pm a small team from TUI will be at the University in Room A004 to introduce you to TUI, the possible opportunities available to you, and to talk about the forthcoming TUI Hackathon 3.0.  You will learn how you could start your career in Technology and Travel by joining the TUI Graduate Scheme. They also want your questions, ideas and feedback.  TUI is a large international company with its UK headquarters in Luton where much of its software development / software engineering takes place - with the main focus on IT, analytics and finance.  TUI is keen to offer a range of opportunities to Computing and Business undergraduates and postgraduates.   Following the success of a Hackathons organised in partnership with TUI in February, 2017, and again in November, 2017 we are organising TUI Hackathon 3.0.  This will take place on Friday evening and Saturday of 9/10 November and is aimed at all Year 1, 2 and 3 undergraduates (and anyone else studying within the CST or Business School) and will be more than just another Hackathon but rather a learning experience.  TUI’s software developers will be present to advise and guide you.  TUI will also be on the lookout for promising undergraduates to join their TUI Graduate Scheme!   Please attend the talk and find out what this all about.

This year's RDKit User Group Meeting will take place from 19-21 September in Cambridge, UK and is being hosted by Andreas Bender at the University of Cambridge. The meeting will take place in the Department of Chemistry on Lensfield Rd. Days 1 and 2: Talks, lightning talks, roundtable(s), discussion, poster sessions, and talktorials.  Day 3: Hackathon There will also be, of course, social activities. This year we have the special opportunity to have the dinner on the 19th in the Old Library of Pembroke College. I can't wait for that. :-) We are looking for people who are willing to do presentations, talktorials or posters on the first two days. If you're interested in contributing, please contact Greg and Andreas. Please register only once. If you plan to attend the dinner on Wednesday select the "Registration + Dinner and Reception" ticket type (note that, as usual at the UGM, you will have to pay for yourself), if you'd just like to attend the UGM select the "Registration" ticket. Please treat a registration for the dinner as a commitment to attend.

Connected and autonomous vehicle enthusiasts in the UK! You're invited to participate in the Meridian Hackathon to explore new possibilities to create, share and fuse Connected and Autonomous vehicles data. Come as a team, or join one at the event. You'll have the opportunity to network with experts from leading companies in the field. Prizes will be awarded for the best demonstration insights from CAV data sharing, the best demo of a digital twin, and the best design for CAV cybersecurity.

Language teachers, techies in the UK! If you're interested in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL), then you're invited to participate in the Cambridge ESOLTHON. At this one-and-a-half day hackathon event, you'll collaborate with like-minded individuals to create a new portal that improves digital resources for teachers of entry-level English as a foreign language. You must be at least 16 years old to participate.

Join us for Western Europe’s first quantum computing hackathon! Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain problems dramatically faster than conventional computers, with applications in areas such as machine learning, finance, drug discovery and cryptography. Try out your quantum programming skills at our hackathon, where you'll have the chance to run your quantum algorithms on both quantum simulators and a real 8-qubit quantum computer, as provided by Rigetti (via the cloud). Experience helps but is not required - our experts will teach you the basics!Winners will be announced at 2pm, followed by pizza!Technical details:Your task will be to develop the best quantum algorithm to solve a quantum chemistry problem that is in general intractable for conventional computers. This amounts to solving an interesting optimisation problem, where the cost function (provided by us) is calculated on a real quantum computer and is exponentially difficult to simulate classically.You will be expected to bring your own laptop, and some experience coding in Python in desirable, but knowledge of quantum computing and quantum chemistry is not needed. To guarantee access to Rigetti's quantum computer, we ask that you sign up to Rigetti's (free) Forest API (www.rigetti.com/forest), and inform us of the email you used to sign up by midnight on Wednesday 13th June.We will provide example code and help on the day, so no prior quantum programming experience is required!Hosted by River Lane Research and dividiti Sponsors:

Quantitative techies and hackers in the Cambridge area! The Cambridge University Algorithmic Trading Society invites you to participate in the HSBC Mayweek Hackathon. Come with your team, or join one at the event. You'll be challenged to develop the best prediction tool capable of predicting price variation of a real currency pair. Collaborate and compete for prizes up to £400 in Amazon vouchers.

Hackers and AI enthusiasts in the UK! You're invited to participate in the third installment of the Microsoft Cognitive Challenge Hackathon!
