List of hackathons in New Milford, United States in 2018

BASE in partnership with Mouse and Games 4 Change Sponsored by Con Ed Welcomes High School Students from across the Bronx and beyond to a day of Game Design, workshops and fun. Food and prizes are provided by a generous gift from our sponsors.

What is a "Cap-a-thon"?    It is the Connecticut Captive Insurance Association's ("CCIA") unique approach to innovation.  It is an intentional, design sprint event in which business leaders, contributors and other subject matter experts come together to learn and intensively collaborate on a project or innovation. The structure is loosely based on "hackathon" concepts and will provide a condensed time for collaborative work.  The center piece of this event is cyber security. The day will focus on innovations for captive insurance entities -- as platforms for risk management and risk aggregation to impact the management of current and emerging risks faced by captive owners.   Innovative solutions offer a set of products and processes, cobbled together to create impact and enhanced value.  The "hackathon" concepts accelerate the development process by rapidly advancing the concepts through series of development stages with the output being actionable -- refined throughout the process. The output of the Cap-a-thon is a solution that successfully addresses or manages a specific risk issue, market need, and potentially a disruptive approach. Join us for a day of engaged learning and collaboration, with a focus on one of the most significant risk exposues for every organization which encompasses financial, reputational, physical and operational aspects -- cyber risk! Special Annoucements: Timeline of the day's exciting schedule is available.           See the CCIA website:  conncaptives.org   An exciting event on the evening of October 16, 2018 is planned at the Hartford Club, 46 Prospect Street, Hartford, CT.  This event focusing on risk and insurance innovation in Connecticut will begin at 5.00 PM, including networking and a panel disucssion .

The Space Apps NYC Bootcamp is a series of workshops designed to connect Space Apps Challenge hackers to tools and information which will prepare them for the hackathon. The bootcamp has two main themes: technology and science. We organize workshops run by our tech sponsors in which hackers are onboarded onto software tools and cloud platforms meant to improve the quality of their projects. We also organize science talks in which scientists from NASA and local academic institutions give in depth presentations on space science topics related to this year’s Space Apps Challenge. Having attended the Space Apps NYC Bootcamp, hackers will be better equipped to choose a challenge, form a team, and then hit the ground running when the hackathon begins!

Calling all humanitarians who hack! Are you a -  Social worker? A college student? A businessperson? A parent? A teacher? A citizen who loves Hartford? Are you a developer? A designer? A tinkerer? An innovator? It is Hartford's turn on the world stage. And you're invited to be a part of it. Everyone can join, whether you code or not! If you want to help, that’s key. Bring your ideas, motivation, and creative energy! Together, we can solve one of Hartford’s most pressing challenges: Children who witness gun violence experience dangerous levels of traumatic stress, yet more than 76% who would benefit from treatment are never referred for diagnosis. By stepping up to address this challenge, Hartford has been selected as a Champion City to participate in the Bloomberg Mayor's Challenge and we need you to get involved! To solve this problem, the City proposed to use data from its gunshot detection system to help identify young witnesses to gun violence and dynamically route resources to address the resulting trauma and reduce traumatic stress.  To support the Hartford Mayor’s Challenge team, Upward is hosting a Hackathon that enables Hartford's best thinkers to come together in an effort to build a model to identify, refer, and treat young bystanders to gun violence and allow them to lead healthy and productive lives.  This is where you come in! We are calling on you to engineer solutions through human-centered, intelligent technologies and interventions. Be part of a city that puts people at the heart of innovation and use your knowledge to make a difference today. The first 30 people to register will receive a FREE Day Pass to work at Upward in the lead up to the event coming together with like-minded people to be inspired! Don't wait for the Hackathon! Get you working group together now and get cracking! Now's your chance to bring your ideas to life in a way that positively impacts a city - even a nation For more information visit https://www.hartfordhack.com/ Register now with Upward. Ideas Start Here. By the end of the Hackathon weekend, our judges will select three finalist teams, each team will get a cash prize of $1000. The city of Hartford will evaluate the winning teams, test their solution and potentially work with one of the finalists to prepare for the Bloomberg Challenge submission. Join us if you... Love to solve problems Want to be part of a community that cares Are interested in developing a technology-centric / digital company that solves big, social problems Want to work with incredible mentors for an entire weekend - not only business experts, but also incredible community experts who know this problem inside and out There’s more!

Ensure that you, or a representative for your idea, are able to attend the entire Hackathon weekend before registering. Come to the Hackathon with ideas in mind. We even encourage you to start coding and building prototypes prior to the event. This will help you make the most of your time during the event. Your innovation can take on many forms; it can be an app, tech tool, product, service, or any other low-tech solution. Remember, we are looking for not just a vision, but a developed idea that can be implemented across the city! An award is presented to the group whose idea is selected.
