List of hackathons in Kent, United States in 2018

Please join us for Electric Sky 2018, our fourth annual art and tech weekend retreat bringing together artists, technologists, designers, hackers, makers and friends to collaboratively engage with the environment in new and exciting ways.    Electric Sky is a cross between an artists' retreat and a hackathon, where you'll spend several days in the woods, on the river, in our maker space, creating stuff with people like you. Event details, including the schedule and how to participate, are available at http://ElectricSkyArtCamp.com. Registration is required for all overnight attendees to reserve your camp spot.  If you are there just for the day, no registration is required. You may join us as early as Thursday, when we will be setting up.  The event is officially open Friday-Sunday.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Have you imagined a world where printers are commonly used to print out everyday objects -- like keys and phone cases? Many predict that for future generations of teens, 3D printers will be in almost every household and be able to do just that. STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) 3D utilizes a structured curriculum, workbook and a web-based CAD (computer-aided design) program that allows you to optimize learning while having a great time.  This class begins teaching you the core basics of 3D printing and continues until you have gained expertise in 3D designing and printing. Each day we will assign a new project for you to create and print including items such as a rocket ship, ice cream cone and castle. STEAM 3D is led by teens and aided by an adult supervisor.   INSTRUCTORS The teen instructors and advisor are apart of Creative Children for Charity (3C) and have taught classes and organized hackathons at Coder Dojo in Bellevue and The Garage on the Microsoft campus. The registration fees from this class will go to support other STEAM-hosted youth events in our community.  SPONSORS & PARTNERS This ciriculum for this program is designed by Creative Children for Charity. The 3D Classes are hosted in partnership with the Sammamish YMCA. Learn more at 3cyouth.com.   MATERIALS Every student should bring their own laptop to the class. A mouse and charger are recommended.

Global Big Data Conference's vendor agnostic Global Artificial Intelligence(AI) Conference is held on April 27th - 29th 2018 on all industry verticals(Finance, Retail/E-Commerce/M-Commerce, Healthcare/ Pharma/ BioTech, Energy, Education, Insurance, Manufacturing, Telco, Auto, Hi-Tech, Media, Agriculture, Chemical, Government, Transportation etc.. )

Virtual and Augmented Reality are poised to transform the way we work, play, and learn. In healthcare, these technologies are already being applied to surgical planning, training, patient education, research, and many aspects of therapy. The Immersive Medical Hackathon is a weekend-long co-creation event that focuses on this intersection of virtual and augmented reality technology with healthcare challenges. It is an opportunity for healthcare professionals, researchers, and technologists to explore the possibilities of this space together. We would love for you to be a part of it! What is a Hackathon? A hackathon is a weekend spent making things. Attendees come together, form teams, choose a problem to work on, and spend a weekend working together to solve it. At the end, prizes are awarded to the best projects. The atmosphere of a hackathon is part workshop, part study session, and part festival. Aside from problem solving, hackathons are great places for networking with other people and learning about new technologies and skills. Hackathons aren't just about technology, however - they're about design, creation, and problem solving. If you have interest in art, graphics, 3D modelling, film, education, sound design, game design, or business as applied to healthcare, this is an event you'll enjoy! Who can participate? The Immersive Healthcare Hackathon is open to everyone. We welcome artists, physicians, enthusiasts, nurses, UX designers, pharmacists, sound artists, critics, researchers, film-makers, developers, game designers, testers, psychologists, industry professionals, and more. If you think VR and AR can be applied to healthcare in interesting ways, you are invited to attend. You don't have to be an expert. A hackathon is a great introduction to working new technologies, and our organizers and workshop presenters are all dedicated to helping you no matter what your skill level. We welcome everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background. Younger attendees are welcome, too, but must have an adult present if they are younger than 16 years of age.  We extend a particularly warm welcome to practitioners and researchers in the field of healthcare. Your insight into the challenges in this field will be invaluable to our teams. We look forward to seeing you, regardless of your level of experience with these technologies. How much does it cost? Registration for the full weekend costs $80 per attendee and covers meals throughout the weekend, an event t-shirt, and prizes. Note - you must register before 7 April if you want a t-shirt in your exact size. We will have a selection of t-shirts in a reasonable range of sizes for those who register after this date. If you're a full-time student, including high school, college, or professional training, you can register for the discounted student pass, which costs $50. You will need to present evidence of this when you register onsite, such as a student ID.  If you'd like to come by on Friday and / or Sunday to participate in the mixer, tickets for this cost $5. This goes towards catering and the venue. Volunteers and mentors receive complimentary access to the event, and will be invited based on need. When and where? The Seattle VR Hackathon will be hosted at the University of Washington's Center for Education and Research in Construction, a 25,000 square foot facility at Sand Point. For those who have been to past VR hackathons, this is the same location as usual. The event will run over the weekend of April 20-22 2018, starting 6pm Friday and ending 6pm Sunday. Our schedule, below, is tentative at this stage, but unlikely to change significantly. Schedule Friday 6:00 PM - VR Mega-Mixer begins 7:30 PM - Hackathon Kickoff / Lightning Rounds / Team Formation Hack overnight Saturday 9:00 AM - Registration / Breakfast 1:00 PM - Lunch 2:30 PM - Walk Around the Park (optional exercise opportunity!) 7:00 PM - Dinner Hack overnight Sunday 9:00 AM - Breakfast 12:00 PM - Lunch 1:00 PM - Hacking Concludes / Judging Begins 3:00 PM - Hacker Expo Begins 5:00 PM - Prizegiving 6:00 PM - Doors Close Teams are welcome to begin work on Friday night or wait until first thing Saturday morning. Frequently Asked Questions Do I have to know how to program to come to this event? No! We welcome anyone with an interest in working on immersive technology projects in healthcare. People with skill in art, sound, and design are in especially high demand throughout the weekend. Do I need my own XR headset? No! That said, if you have one, you should bring it. Many members of our community have equipment of their own that they bring and make available over the weekend. We will make available additional equipment as we are able, depending on what our sponsors are willing to provide. Remember, though, simple VR and AR applications will run on a smartphone with a Google Cardboard headset and can be quite compelling, and these devices are how most people are first experiencing these technologies. These headsets are very easy to work with and cheap to obtain online. Note that certain VR equipment, particularly the Vive, has a tendency to interfere with other similar units nearby. As a result, we may be forced to limit the number of Vives deployed. Come prepared with an alternative if you think this might affect you. What should I bring? A computer: If you have a gaming PC, this would be a good choice, as VR runs best on machines with dedicated graphics cards. If you don’t have one, don’t worry - you can achieve an awful lot with a regular entry-level laptop. Even if you don’t have a computer, you’re welcome to participate, as there are many aspects of design that don’t involve working on the computer. We may be able to provide loaner computers to those who need them. Computer mouse: Working in Unity or Unreal on a laptop trackpad might make you cry Headphones: Sound forms an important part of every VR experience, and if you want to listen to music while you work, you will need to use headphones. Extension cords and power strips: We will provide many of these, but it’s always helpful to have your own. Spare chargers: In case your friends/teammates forget their own! Pens, paper, and other drawing supplies: It's always helpful to have something write on while you're doing design work. Pillows/blankets/sleeping bags: Helpful if you plan to stay overnight. Toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant: Please, for the sake of everyone else, bring and use these. Remember to properly label any equipment that you bring with your name. We will not assume liability for any equipment that is lost or stolen over the weekend. If you do lose something, though, let us know, and we'll do what we can to help you find it. If you find something, bring it to us and we'll try and find out who to return it to. Is the venue ADA compliant? Yes. The venue is accessible by ramp on the ground level, and by elevator to the upper level, though this elevator is not as convenient as we'd like it to be. If you think that you may have special needs around accessibility, please reach out to us so that we can work with you to ensure that your experience at the hackathon is smooth and problem-free. Do I need to have a particular project to work on? No! You can just come along and see what happens. In fact, we encourage this. There are always people with ideas for projects that you can join. Similarly, if you have an idea but need someone to help you with it, there will be people there with skills that you can leverage. Can I bring a project I’m already working on? Yes, you can. If you do, however, you won’t be eligible for prizes, as that wouldn't be fair to teams that are building their entire project over the weekend. Exceptions may be made if you’re working on a distinct sub-project that builds on something else you've built in the past. Talk to the Organizers onsite if you're unsure. All of that said, a big part of the hackathon ethos is the collaboration that occurs when people come together to create something new, so we don’t recommend this approach. How do I learn about developing for VR? There are many ways to learn. If you’re a self-starter, there are excellent tutorials available online - you can pick an engine such as Unity or Unreal and work through their tutorials and examples to get a good entry-level understanding of development. We'll have mentors onsite at the hackathon who can guide you through whatever problems or questions you may have. What are the prize categories? Our prize categories will be announced shortly before the event What workshops will be available? We are working with our sponsors and local experts to put on workshops and other programming both before and during the event. Look out for posts from us with more information. How can I get more involved? There are a number of ways you can get more involved in the Seattle VR hackathon and the wider Seattle VR community prior to the hackathon! If you'd like to help out with the hackathon, contact us at hackathon@seattlevr.us or reach out to us via the Seattle VR Facebook or Slack groups. If you want to learn about other community events and mixers leading up to the hackathon, check out seattlevr.us for more information. Hackathon Rules Specific rules for the hackathon will be announced during Opening Ceremonies, and are subject to change at that time. Further rules changes may occur throughout the weekend in response to questions and emerging issues. Such changes will be announced if and when they occur. The following rules have been set at this time: Teams may have a maximum size of 8 members, excluding mentors and roving participants that assist multiple teams such as voice actors, composers, and other specialists. Teams may use content from third-party sources such as the asset store provided that the judges are provided with all details of this use during judging. Teams may use content from their own prior existing projects provided that they clear this use with the event organizers. This is to ensure that all teams have access to a similar pool of resources. Teams must register using the forms provided on Saturday evening in order to be eligible for prizes. Projects must be produced on-site at the hackathon. The organizers will make exceptions to this rule for teams that require other environments, for example, for filming a 360 scene outdoors. Announcements will be made using the event's Slack channel. Though attempts will be made to inform teams of any announcements in person, this is not guaranteed. It is the responsibility of each team to monitor the Slack channel for any important information. Teams will be allocated work spaces on Friday night, depending on their needs. We will provide pipe & drape and to act as a barrier between team workspaces in order to prevent interference between equipment. Code of Conduct We, the Seattle VR Hackathon Organizers, are committed to making the VR Hackathon a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or technical expertise (or lack of any of the aforementioned). We will not tolerate harassment of any kind. Harassment may include verbal abuse, sexually explicit or derogatory language, offensive or sexual cartoons or materials, mimicry, offensive gestures, unwelcome sexual advances, and telling of jokes offensive to others in the community. In general, sexual advances of any kind are considered unwelcome by default and are not appropriate at this event. Drugs and alcohol are not permitted on site. Individuals who appear intoxicated or otherwise under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be asked to leave the event until they have recovered. If, in the eyes of the Organizers, a hackathon participant is seen to have violated these rules, they may be warned, sanctioned, or asked to leave the hackathon without a refund (if applicable). In other words, just do the following: be aware of your actions and their effects on others; don’t treat the hackathon like a dating sim; and, in general, be nice to one another.  Refund Policy We will refund your ticket if we receive your request to do so at least 7 days before the event. We may, at our discretion, give late refunds in extreme circumstances if we are able to re-sell your ticket. Contacting Us For more information about the event, or for any other questions, drop us a line at hackathon@seattlevr.us. We look forward to seeing you! The Immersive Healthcare Hackathon is a project of the Seattle Immersive Technology Association.
