List of hackathons in Des Moines, United States in 2018

PLIBI...ga...what? Yeah, we don't know how to pronounce it either, but it stands for: Programming Languages I've Been Meaning To Try But Haven't Gotten Around To Yet! Come to try something different, learn a new language, or simply hone your existing skills. It's like Stack Exchange, but IRL. There will be a KTAWTS (Knows Things And Willing To Share) panel that will be run un-conference style, where a handful of people, maybe even you, sign up for timeslots on code topics. On whiteboards, you can post questions and others can post answers. And there will be groups focusing on different topics, designated by large signs and/or the presence of programming books. We'll have drinks and snacks, because every programmer needs fuel. Bring your laptop and at least a vague idea of a project to work on or language you'd like to know more about. It's an excellent excuse to start that thing you've been telling yourself you're going to work on .... someday. There will be a chance to share what you learned or worked on at the end of the day, but no pressure to have anything polished or even working. (This isn't a hackathon, no judgment here!)

Cisco and Waukee Schools are looking for curious and excited 9th-12th grade Waukee students for a session focused on applications and networking in the world of IoT (Internet of Things) and Bots. Bring your advanced curiosity - programming skills desired, but are not required. Students will interact with the cloud, various sensors, as well as software platforms for collaboration as they try their hand and creating applications and “bots” designed to integrate multiple systems.  What you will need to bring with you: A light snack if you wish. A laptop or computer if you can. Each team will need a laptop or computer for a workstation.

TEAMC 2018 brings to you an unconventional, pre-conference Hackathon- HACKEAM 2018 aimed at providing a unique platform for students and professionals to spread out to different places within the country which are rife with developmental opportunities and apply their potential to tackle their challenges. In this endeavour, they will be supported by a team comprising professionals and people from different walks of life.The main objective of the hackathon is to sensitize students and professionals about existing problems of the under privileged and lesser developed sections of our society and providing a platform whereby they can proactively develop and showcase technological solutions for these challenges.The hackathon will be conducted through the multiple tracks, rephrased as “Treks” because they involve visits to places of interest, stay and interaction with local communities.Our goal for the hackathon is to provide a place for students to work on the projects that interest them most and even make formal reports on their ideas. Also, the various tracks have been made keeping in mind the problems and issues faced by our society. So HACKEAM 2018 is also an initiative towards social cause.This is one opportunity no technological enthusiast must miss. Additionally, prizes worth a whooping 3 lacs are up for grab!Stay tuned to our page for the timeline and further details that shall be shortly announced.Till then, Keep Hacking!
