This is a global hackathon organized by Time Inc. NBBJ and PowerToFly to invent the workplace of the future. The challenges for this event include creating technology that allows distributed teams to connect in serindipidous ways, creating a virtual watercooler, building technology that allows culture to flow across locations, making portals across the globe, and crafting new technology that brings remote workers into structured meetings and brainstorming sessions.

This is a hackathon organized by Paige & Paxton bringing one of the best STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) educational experiences that a kid, ages 4 to 7, you can have! Children are exposed to some of the best and brightest minds in STEM to engage in 3-4 problem-solving experiences that feature the characters Paige & Paxton. Experiences are led by STEM and education experts and will range from the basis of scientific inquiry and observation, to engineering design and geometry principles.

GHC/1 started is a one-day conference modeled after ABI's international Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC). This event aims to bring women technologists from all skill levels together with industry leading companies to connect, learn and advance their careers. Women are succeeding in all professions including the “hot” fields: Fin-Tech, Data Science, and Cyber Security. These women will discuss what they accomplish on a daily basis, the prerequisite skills, and the steps necessary for you to secure a position in the area of your choice. Women technologists are diverse in appearance, age, and employment history. Join us to hear their stories about the past, present, and future of women in the field of computing and learn from their experiences.

Hip-Hop Hacks is a two-day hackathon for high school students to explore technology's role in hip-hop and how the most popular genre in the world inspires technological innovation. Since the beginning, hip-hop has evolved together with technology, from turntables and microphones to mediums like vinyl, compact cassettes, mp3s, and now apps and algorithms. Students will study the elements of hip-hop, participate in code and music workshops, network with other students, and learn from music- and tech-industry veterans.

Some World Games, designed by Farzin Farzin, is an immersive installation as part of Closed Worlds, an exhibition curated by Lydia Kallipoliti that presents 41 historical prototypes of closed resource regeneration systems. Visitors will be guided along a continuous loop by custom designed virtual reality headsets suspended from a kinetic track. Through the installation, you will explore the historical content of the exhibition in a virtual visual and aural field. This will be a day-long hackathon utilizing this interface to invite coders, game designers, architects, artists, filmmakers, and others to collaborate and create new worlds. You will be asked to develop tools for virtual exploration and convert kinetic energy into virtual energy to generate both new agencies within systems of display and new engagements with control objects. Basic digital assets will be provided in advance. Teams are free to create any type of content they wish resulting in a single virtual reality experience that will be uploaded to each headset. At the end of the hackathon, each team will have ten minutes to frame and present its work. At the end of the day there will be a quick Q&A session followed by a wine reception!
