LYLAS Lab: Policy Hackathon on Reproductive Rights
20 Oct - 08:00 AM
New York, United States
$500 Team prize ($100/person)
Addressing some of today’s most relevant societal challenges can’t be solved by one discipline alone- LYLAS Labs empowers women to come together to solve modern societal and political challenges on interdisciplinary teams. Each team is armed with open data sources and paired with subject matter experts to propose creative solutions and frameworks.
About the Hackathon:
For its inaugural hackathon, LYLAS is partnering with the Flatiron School to host a reproductive rights policy hackathon. The goal is to develop content and prototypes to aide candidates and advocates with the tools they need to understand the policies, opinions, and current state of abortion across the nation.
Information for Participants:
Participants will be organized a week before the event into groups. Each group will be formed by the LYLAS Labs production team to ensure that each team is interdisciplinary and includes a flatiron technical expert. Starter packs will be given to each teams and include: public data sets, lists of reproductive health organization tools that already exist, advice on ideation techniques for team brainstorms and project execution.
Throughout the day, teams will have access to subject matter experts at the event and opportunities for teams to “hack” the issue as well as pressure test their ideas with external experts on the project’s feasibility on real world application. The hackathon will bring ideas that will surely have potential to immediately impact your organizations and its role in the dissemination and public policy education pertaining to women’s rights and our vital upcoming elections.

Holochain Hackathon — NYC!
12 Oct - 06:00 PM
Brooklyn, United States
Build a distributed app prototype in a weekend!
Familiarize yourself with a new coding paradigm and learn tools for the rapid development of decentralized applications. Holochain is a post-blockchain protocol for storing data in a completely peer-2-peer network. Join co-founder Arthur Brock and members of the Holochain team for this workshop on the technology.
Friday Oct 12 6:00PM—9:00PM
Saturday Oct 13 10:00AM—8:00PM
Sunday Oct 14 11:00AM—6:00PM
Note 1: Friday's session is free and open to the public. Please arrive between 5:30 and 5:45 pm. Your registration helps us plan appropriately.
Note 2: Tickets are required for Saturday & Sunday - the fee goes toward food, materials, and venue. If the ticket price is a barrier, please contact us for support.
Note 3: If you're coming for Saturday and Sunday, please attend Friday evening's session (you only need to register for the full hackathon).
Are you interested in building decentralized applications?
Imagine a world where everyone can interact with no central power in the middle. Imagine a world where we can build a local and global sharing economy (cars, homes, tools, learning...), where everyone can play and contribute to the decisions. A world where we can build sustainable currencies, with no central authority that could sooner or later dictate the rules. A world where we can design thriving economies. This world will run on distributed apps, or dApps. Open source, completely distributed, dApps allow direct peer-to-peer interactions and have incredible evolutionary capacities.
Holochain enables a distributed web with user autonomy built directly into its architecture and protocols. Data allows the remembering of our lived and shared experiences. Distributing the storage and processing of that data will change how we coordinate and interact. With digital integration under user control, Holochain liberates our lives from corporate control over our choices and information.
Join Holochain co-founder Art Brock and the Holo team for a weekend of training and hands-on support in Holochain architecture, design principles, and app development tools with plenty of work in teams to build distributed software applications.

Hackathon Structure
Project co-founder Arthur Brock will introduce people to building in the Holochain framework. We encourage people to come with distributed app ideas. Experience with either JavaScript or Lisp will be helpful, but not mandatory. Information on how to prepare for the Hackathon will be provided in advance to ticket holders.
Fri evening — 6-9 pm
Includes an introduction to the technology from Arthur with an initial Q&A. This session is free and open to the public.
Sat/Sun — 10–8/10–6
Short educational sessions alternating with time for hands-on learning by collaborating on prototypes and models to share at a show and tell at the closing.
Our job is to support you in going as far as you can from where you’re starting. We’re all learning together. Whether you’re coming to learn to code on Holochain, develop a radical business model, or design social enterprise — we’re here to support you.
Location, Transportation, & Food
We are being hosted by Bushwick Generator - 215 Moore St, Brooklyn, NY 11206

FAQs
Do I need to be a programmer to attend?
While this event is not intended exclusively for software developers, assisting devs with the technical aspects of the project is our main focus.
Can I do business on Holochain?
YES! Jump into our track for people who want to build businesses to capitalize on Holochain’s unique structure!
Can the app I want to make be built on Holochain?
The answer is almost certainly yes. Nearly any app can be built on Holochain and in most cases Holochain offers you functionalities and efficiencies that other distributed architectures don’t.
I still feel skeptical. What do you say to that?
Good! You should feel skeptical! We’re making some serious claims. Come and see for yourself.
(and take a look at our green paper, white paper, and currency paper)
What should I bring?
Bring your passions, skills, and ideas for next-generation apps and businesses!!
And a water bottle ; )
Can I ask more questions?
Totes. Ask away.
HackCooper
12 Oct - 03:00 PM
New York, United States
Hacking is building things that you always wanted to have but no one has built it yet. It's to come up with an amazing idea and work tirelessly on it. It is to fail, fail again and fail better. Try out new things and learn while doing that. It's to work together, collaborate and build things that are innovative. It is to be a better programmer.
With that spirit, create@cooper is conducting a hackathon - HackCooper and invites all developers and hackathon enthusiasts to participate in an interesting and engaging hackathon.
From October 12 to 13, participants will work together on computer projects over a 24 hour time window. It is a time for learning and growth for the participants, and it's a great opportunity for anyone with an interest in computers looking to network, code cool projects, and enjoy delicious food and tech talks.
Registration must be done through this link: https://hackcooper.hackerearth.com/
