List of hackathons in Basking Ridge, United States in 2020

RidgeHacks is the 2nd annual 12-hour hackathon hosted by the Ridge CS Club. This event is free and each participant will receive event swag!

Are you an innovator who is looking for a chance to do good in the world? Need a small creative challenge? Want to network and meet others like you? You have found a true blue opportunity. As we see increased flooding along our shores and inland, it is more important than ever before to get through to people and help them before disaster strikes. We at FEMA Region III are looking for fresh takes on how to convince people (especially in coastal Delaware) to get flood insurance, using things like games, infographics, video, social media strategy, and other marketing tools.  Join us for a full day creative intensive, where you can work with others in your field alongside floodplain managers, emergency professionals, and professional communicators to get things done and have fun in the process! All skill levels and backgrounds are welcome, you don’t need to be a coder to participate in this Hackathon! Just bring a laptop! FAQs What's in it for me? Snacks, lunch, bragging rights and admiration! Winners chosen at the end will recieve formal recognition. What can I expect at the event? Hackers are going to get the problem statement, hear some background and context on flood insurance and flood risk from subject matter experts, form groups based on skillsets, and create products to solve the issue. Each group will be able to call on subject matter experts or a facilitator at any point. In the evening, groups will present their products, talk about distribution, and winners will be chosen. I can’t attend in person, can I still participate? In person only. Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? This is an all-ages event. How do I get to the Hackathon? Our regional office is in the One Independence Mall Building on Chestnut Street and 6th Street. Once you get to the office you must pass through a security checkpoint. Unless you have a DHS-issued ID, your bags will be checked, and you will go through an airport-style metal detector. Please have a government-issued picture ID to gain access to the building. Once on the sixth floor, use the phone to call extension x5705 or x5757 if after hours to have someone greet you and allow entrance to the office floor. What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? There is on street parking which requires payment to machines located on every block. Parking in Philadelphia is strictly monitored and tickets are frequent. The building does have off-street parking for $17.00 cash. There are also several public and privately-owned parking lots in the vicinity of the office. If arriving by train to Philadelphia’s 30th St. Amtrak station you can get to the office by Taxi or take the Market-Frankford subway line (direction Frankford Transportation Center) and get off at the 8th St. or 5th St. stop. The fare is $2.25. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? No Can I update my registration information? Yes. Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn’t match the person who attends? Nope. We need accurate registrations to get people through building security. What should I bring? Laptop, Ideas, and knowhow to power all the brainstorming! How can I contact the organizer with any questions? Email femar3newsdesk@fema.dhs.gov with any questions you may have. I can’t attend but still want to participate in future hackathons. Should I still register? Email us to get connected! (^_^)v

Overview The 5th Fruit Fly brain Hackathon (FFBH 2020) will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. The goal of the hackathon is to bring together researchers interested in developing executable models of the fruit fly brain. The hackathon is aimed at three main groups of participants: neurobiologists, modelers and software engineers. We welcome researchers working on the fruit fly brain as well as those working on other model organisms to participate and broaden the discussion in the hackathon. The Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon 2020 is organized in conjunction with the Columbia Workshop on Brain Circuit, Memory and Computation on March 16-17, 2020. Participants of the hackathon are welcome to attend the workshop. Organizers Tingkai Liu, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia UniversityMehmet Kerem Turkcan, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia UniversityYiyin Zhou, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University Detailed schedule, will be posted here

Overview The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in developing executable models of neural computation/processing of the brain of model organisms. Of interest are models of computation that consist of elementary units of processing using brain circuits and memory elements. Elementary units of computation/processing include population encoding/decoding circuits with biophysically-grounded neuron models, non-linear dendritic processors for motion detection/direction selectivity, spike processing and pattern recognition neural circuits, movement control and decision-making circuits, etc. Memory units include models of spatio-temporal memory circuits, circuit models for memory access and storage, etc. A major aim of the workshop is to explore the integration of various sensory and control circuits in higher brain centers. A Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon is being conducted in conjunction with the workshop. Workshop participants are welcome to attend the hackathon. Organizer and Program Chair Aurel A. Lazar, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University. Registration Registration is free but all participants have to register. Thank you!

"[The Summit] literally gave me a new perspective on working with my most challenging students." "It made me realize that I have access to so much data, and I needed to make more of an effort to display it to my team and have open discussions about it." "I knew that DeansList compiled a lot of data and that many schools were using it, but I did not know how much you all were rooted in social justice outcomes. I'm even prouder now to say we use DeansList as a school!" "Just opened my eyes to frame things for other teachers."
