List of hackathons in New Milford, United States in 2020

Overview The 5th Fruit Fly brain Hackathon (FFBH 2020) will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. The goal of the hackathon is to bring together researchers interested in developing executable models of the fruit fly brain. The hackathon is aimed at three main groups of participants: neurobiologists, modelers and software engineers. We welcome researchers working on the fruit fly brain as well as those working on other model organisms to participate and broaden the discussion in the hackathon. The Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon 2020 is organized in conjunction with the Columbia Workshop on Brain Circuit, Memory and Computation on March 16-17, 2020. Participants of the hackathon are welcome to attend the workshop. Organizers Tingkai Liu, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia UniversityMehmet Kerem Turkcan, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia UniversityYiyin Zhou, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University Detailed schedule, will be posted here

Overview The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in developing executable models of neural computation/processing of the brain of model organisms. Of interest are models of computation that consist of elementary units of processing using brain circuits and memory elements. Elementary units of computation/processing include population encoding/decoding circuits with biophysically-grounded neuron models, non-linear dendritic processors for motion detection/direction selectivity, spike processing and pattern recognition neural circuits, movement control and decision-making circuits, etc. Memory units include models of spatio-temporal memory circuits, circuit models for memory access and storage, etc. A major aim of the workshop is to explore the integration of various sensory and control circuits in higher brain centers. A Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon is being conducted in conjunction with the workshop. Workshop participants are welcome to attend the hackathon. Organizer and Program Chair Aurel A. Lazar, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University. Registration Registration is free but all participants have to register. Thank you!

HackTrin VII is the seventh iteration of Trinity School’s annual (free!) hackathon for middle and high schoolers of any experience level.

HackTrin VII is the seventh iteration of Trinity School’s annual hackathon. Middle and high schoolers, of any experience level, can participate. You can form teams of 1-4 students, even across different schools, and work to make projects relating to coding. We'll have workshops and mentors to help you with your projects and learn! We will announce the secret theme two weeks before HackTrin, after which you can start planning (but not coding or building). Coding and building starts March 8th. You’ll present your projects to our panels of judges to win prizes in multiple categories (including a beginner category)!

Diverse teams will examine NYC Open Data and come up with new ways of visualizing the data and envisioning the future of NYC

Aspiring techie girls in the 4th to 8th grades in Connecticut! Random Hacks of Kindness Jr invites you to a special one-day hackathon at Holberton School in New Haven. At this event, you will be working with computer science mentors and local nonprofits to design, build, and test an amazing app that helps local charities. You will be provided with an Android device, although you may prefer tobring your own. Be prepared with advice from the hackathon tips page!

Boys and girls in 4-8th grade are invited to join RHoK Jr at a special one day hackathon at Sacred Heart Greenwich where they will be working with computer science mentors to create technology for social good by helping local charities.  Students will work in groups to brainstorm, design and code prototype smartphone apps using MIT’s APP Inventor. Android devices will be provided for building and testing apps, but you are welcome to bring your own. Participants may also bring their own laptops to work on.

Girls 4-8th grade, are invited to join RHoK Jr at a special one day hackathon at Quinnipiac University where they will be working with computer science mentors and local nonprofits to create technology for social good by helping local charities.  Android devices will be provided for building and testing apps, but you are welcome to bring your own.
