Does your child like playing video games? Ever wish they could use that energy to learn coding too? Come join us for a three hour hackathon where we will learn how to make a game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In the hackathon, we'll spend some time covering what coding is, why it's useful to know, and a hands-on coding lesson. Then, participants will form groups and work on a coding project that involves creating a Mario like game. At the end, groups will present their work in front of everyone. The top team will win a prize. This event is targeted towards kids aged 9 to 16. No prior programming knowledge is needed. Participants must bring a laptop.

The 'Designathon on Tour' brings together talented people from the creative economy of both cities – Zurich and San Francisco – during the weekend of October 20/21. The Swiss Designathon Team and swissnex San Francisco invite you to participate in the co-creation process on topics around urbanization and technology. The Designathon is a hackathon for design-thinking among curious and motivated people. Together, in interdisciplinary teams, participants think critically about the future and search for productive solutions throughout the weekend. The goal is to create synergies between design and the economy, science and the arts, as well as individual people — while generating innovative, fresh, visionary, but also critical, ideas. Download the .pdf for more information. Best pitches will be awarded and build the framework for the Urban Tech Summit taking place on October 23 at the same venue. Presented as part of the Festival "Zürich meets San Francisco" and in partnership with the Canton of Zurich.

Annually, up to 1 million Californians lack access to clean, safe drinking water at some point during the year. Droughts and other disruptions in water supply can limit or eliminate access to safe drinking water for days, months, or years. Some communities have been exposed to unsafe water for more than a decade.

The Division of Data Sciences at UC Berkeley and Berkeley Institute for Data Science are hosting the California Water Data Hackathon to challenge students by finding innovative ways to increase community access to safe drinking water, understand vulnerabilities, and identify and deploy solutions. The California Water Data Hackathon is one of the efforts that is supporting the California Safe Drinking Water Data Challenge. On any given day in California, around 200,000 Californians turn on their taps and the water that comes out is unsafe to drink and may be unsafe to use for basic needs like bathing. Annually, up to 1 million Californians lack access to clean, safe drinking water at some point during the year. Droughts and other disruptions in water supply can limit or eliminate access to safe drinking water for days, months, or years. Some communities have been exposed to unsafe water for more than a decade. Small water systems and domestic well users are particularly vulnerable to disruptions in their access to safe drinking water. While the most publicized examples are in rural areas of the state, delivering sufficient, safe, and affordable drinking water poses a challenge to small systems and domestic well users in almost every region of the state. Many of the most vulnerable systems and domestic well users rely primarily on groundwater for their water supply. More details here about the challenge: http://waterchallenge.data.ca.gov/
