List of hackathons in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom in 2018

We launched in June and then met again in August - with #TechTea beginning in September.  November will be the start of events every two months where we'll begin to put into action what we've learnt from Sheffield women in technology so far. Each event will have time to chat and and, if networking isn't your thing and sends a shiver down your spine, don't be put off! There'll be friendly faces looking forward to saying hello and introducing you to people.  What will the event involve? 17.30  Doors open for drinks, snacks and chat. 18.00  Talks start (see below for more details). 19:30  Over to you. Please bring along any Sheffield women in tech news you have to pass on, events to advertise, questions to ask or ideas to share.      There'll be time for more drinks, snacks and chat until we close at 20.00 No, I fly them - Shehla Ali Shehla Ali is a freelance digital marketeer, drone photographer and a Google Digital Garage trainer. Shehla also runs Cameratic, a blog she created to showcase her photography, filming and copy writing, as well as Drone 360, where she creates aerial photography.  Shehla will talk about her rollercoast ride since quitting her job two years ago to work remotely and travel.  Since then she has set up multiple companies, further developed her knowledge of technology and experienced working in male dominated environments.  If you're a budding creative who doesn't know where to start or more experienced but stuck in your comfort zone, this talk may give you a quiet and gentle push to start moving.   A series of fortunate blags - Tanya FIsh Tanya Fish has been enthusing about science and making in some form or other for most of her life. She's written tutorials, magazine articles, and educational materials. She's talked about making to all sorts of audiences, including the Guild of Makers Launch, Hackaday Unconferences, and at Maker Faires. She runs workshops at festivals, conferences, and universities; and has just ventured into YouTube. In this talk, Tanya explains how being out of your depth is an advantage, how you are worth more than you think and how there is no such thing as modesty when you're bigging yourself up. Coding and hackathon(ing) - Kat Walker and Darren Vong Kat Walker is a Computer Science student and demonstrator at Sheffield University and a Code First Girls Instructor.  Darren Vong is a Full Stack Developer at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and a lead instructor at Code First Girls. In this talk, Kat and Darren will talk about their experiences supporting Code First Girls and attending hackathons.  If you've ever wanted to learn to code or develop your coding knowledge, attend a hackathon (or aren't sure what a hackathon is) but have never had chance to ask questions in advance, tonight may be your night. The small but important print Everyone is welcome. You don’t have to work in digital right now, you don’t have to identify as a woman, you don’t have to know how to code or how to explain bitcoin. You do have come in, be open and ready to participate in bringing about positive change. Babies and children are welcome to attend with a (vaguely) responsible adult.  If you can’t make the event and would like to be kept updated, sign up to our mailing list or follow and join in on Twitter @ShfWIT.   Kindly sponsored by Egress.

AstonHack 2018   We are inviting student hackers to join us for a frenzied 24 hours of designing, coding and making. Whether this will be your first hackathon or your 20th come join us and build something amazing! https://astonhack.co.uk/

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!
