List of hackathons in Beaumont, United States in 2018

Find unique solutions to issues surrounding the opioid crisis, and we will support the winning teams to IMPLEMENT their ideas into public health research and policymaking. There are tracks in software development, data science, artificial intelligence, and data visualization, allowing for a wide variety of solutions.

BACKGROUND Every day, more than 115 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids, making the opioid crisis the top current public health problem in the United States. The problem continues to worsen, as opioid overdoses increased 30 percent from July 2016 through September 2017 in 52 areas in 45 states. Specific to California, certain regions of the state have a greater number of opioid overdose deaths than the national average, creating a need for California to implement solutions and prevent a worsening crisis. Building on insights from the previous US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Code-A-Thon in December of 2017, the University of California Institute for Prediction Technology (UCIPT) is hosting a Hack-A-Thon featuring HHS. This Hack-A-Thon is designed to bring interdisciplinary teams (e.g., data science/visualization experts, patients/family members of those affected by the crisis, public health/medical/law enforcement professionals, and legal/ethical/psychological researchers) with new approaches to solve this growing problem. Teams will be provided with various data sources related to opioid outcomes, as well as alternative approaches related to the crisis (e.g., virtual reality and augmented reality data, cannabis data, wearable and social media data, and data on behavior change approaches). Teams will have 24 hours to develop visualizations to address a number of tracks on the topic, with a final panel of judges deciding the winners.This event will take place in California and have a California focus on issues of the opioid crisis. The goal of the hackathon is for the winning teams to have their solutions implemented within the public health system to help address the opioid crisis. Lessons learned from this hackathon can be applied to other states to help address the national crisis. ________________________________________________ ATTEND THE HACKATHON  Interested in attending the Hackathon?

THUAASC Youth STEAM Competition 2018 – Mars Exploration Mars exploration is one of our most fantastic dreams. More than a half century passed since human being’s first Mars exploration mission in 1960s. It’s so exciting that we have so many young scientists / engineers design and build their own Mars lander, rover, and station / community so we may survive at the Mars surface. Come to see their projects and robots and share their joyful Mars exploration! Team qualification: All students from 6 grade to 12 grade are welcome to participate the competition; Team size: team member number may from one to five. Multiple-age team is encouraged. Each team member must contribute something on the project; Each team must be advised / coached under an adult (parent or school teacher). The competition field: Scenes: “the Mars surface” – a 72”x96” cartoon board with one crater. The crater is with 48” diameter and ~ 2” high, ~2” wide wall. Two life supplies have been dropped inside the crater: a 2” cube food package and a 2” long water tank. Both the food package and water tank were made by foam and painted with black color. One of the missions is moving the life supplies out of the craters and bring them back to the Mars station. Competition general requirements: M1. Mars Rover: Each team may bring one Mars rover to demo its function; M2. Mars Station Hackathon: Each team may bring one set (package) uninstalled kits to build a Mars station; M3. Mars exploration dream: Each team may use a 3D printing software to design their Mars station. No soldering allowed for safety reason. The competition time: Hackathon: 1 hr. to build the Mars station All other activities will take 15 min. for each team. Requirements for each competition event: M1. Mars Rover: The Mars rover should start from a far point from the crate, roll over the crater edge (a ~ 2” high, 2” wide, and 48” diameter ring) and get in the crater. Then pick up the life supplies (may one supply each time) and take them back to Mars station. Completing the mission with shortest time will be the winner. M2. Mars Station Hackathon: Each team may bring one set (package) uninstalled kits to the Mars surface for building a Mars station, then explain what the station’s feature and the function(s) of each part of the station. The most comprehensive functional station and built with shorter time will be the winner. M3. Mars exploration dream: Each team may use 3D printing software to design their Mars station / community. Then explain the station’s functions on computer – no real parts needed. The most comprehensive functional station / community with essential life support system will be the winner. Workshop: WS1: September 16, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Caltech (room number will be announced later) 1. Introduce the competition event; 2. Explain the requirements for the Mars rover. WS2: September 23, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Irvine“补习广场”正中央，地址：1150 Roosevelt Irvine 1. Introduce the competition event; 2. Explain the design thinking and hackathon. Cost: Workshop: free Competition event: $60 each team; $40 for early bird (till September 24). For more information, please email to  thuaasc.steam@gmail.com.

Who Should Attend? The Brother Mobile App Hackathon is designed to encourage developers, designers, business professionals, and students to submit software apps or prototypes that integrate with a Brother QL Label Printer, or a Brother RuggedJet printer/labeler. Each team will receive a brand new QL-820NWB printer and supplies. Team can keep the printer as long as the team members participate in the competition. Judged by key influencers within the industry, the Contest seeks to identify talented individuals and teams from across the U.S. The prizes will be awarded to the best entries submitted. What Should We Do? Anyone with any idea that can challenge coders and graphics designers should sign up and present the idea. An iOS or Android coder can spend as little as 30 minutes to download the SDK and have the printer working within minutes. The graphics designer will design the output that the coder can print. The team will design a great user experience. Together you will try to complete the mobile app as much as possible using any one of the Brother's printers. There are lots of things you can do. You can validate your ideas, find talented people from Southern California, and enjoy a great event. The best part is that you can start now or start on March 23rd. But why wait? Grab a free ticket and we will match you with coders and designers. We will email you a Hackathon Reference guide after you register at Eventbrite.

Is it something that isn't being addressed by the market? PRESENTATION: How well did the team communicate their project? Are they effective in telling the story of the project and why it is important? POLISH / DESIGN: Is the hack usable in its current state? Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work? Is it well designed? Submission Guidelines Create a mobile application that is sustainable on a tablet or smartphone device. Write a concise description or create a business plan for the application. Present to the judges why your application would be successful. A portion of the coding must be done onsite at the Hackathon.

From 'Open Data' to 'Gov 2.0' to 'hackathons' to 'online engagement platforms', technology is fundamentally changing the relationship between citizens and their governments. Unfortunately, understanding of what different terms mean, and what technologies should be used for particular enterprises hasn't caught up with all of these changes. This interactive seminar will explore:  - A New Vocabulary - understand how various terms interact with each other and sometimes overlap - How Purpose Determines Platform - know your goals for citizen interaction and the technology will follow - Thinking like an Online Marketer - the importance of outreach in the digital space - Does Online Engagement = Public Engagement? This seminar is designed for city staff, elected officials, school district leaders, and county/regional officials.
