List of hackathons in Palo Alto, United States in 2019

HarvestHacks 2019 is a first of its kind hackathon hosted by the Salinas Valley Dream Academy. The overall goal of this hackathon is to bridge the technology gap — to spark an interest in underrepresented middle school and high school students for coding, app/game/web design, software development and to educate students about the opportunities available to them in the technology industry. This coding and design event where students will learn about coding, computer programming, and software development, includes an opportunity to show what a student knows about website design, interface design, and project management.  Harvest Hacks 2019 is for EVERYONE! There will be 2 tracks at the hackathon and students can sign up for either track. TRACK #1 is for students who have not been exposed to coding or design. Students in Track #1 will be introduced to coding and will be exposed to the many opportunities that exist for students in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). TRACK #2 is for students who have some experience with coding or design. Students in Track #2 will compete for prizes at the hackathon by creating an app or designing a website related to the concept of harvest or harvesting crops, knowledge, information. These students will work in groups to create usable software or hardware with the goal of creating a functioning product or well thought out and viable schema by the end of the event. Several experienced adult mentors will be available to assist student groups throughout the entire process. The hackathon will be taking place on Saturday, October 19, 2019. It will be hosted at Hartnell College's brand new, state of the art STEM building. We are anticipating that about 150-200 students will attend. We have several amazing co-sponsors including Google, Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Code As A Second Language,  Salinas Union High School District, Hartnell College, DigitalNEST, Future Citizens Foundation's Center for Learning, and Margaret Inc.

GOODDLER Social Innovation Youth Summit www.gooddler.org When: October 19, 2019 - Social Innovation Youth SummitOctober 20, 2019 - Social Innovation Hackathon (by invitation only! ask details: galina@gooddler.com) Where: Stanford University. 498 Santa Teresa St, Stanford, CA 94305          The Gooddler Social Innovation Youth Summit inspires a new generation of technology-oriented youth to invest their entrepreneurial brainpower into solving the world’s acute humanitarian problems.

Consumers want the full story of the products they purchase. Traceability and transparency are essential to building trust! The Hackathon More and more, consumers are demanding access to the full story of the products they purchase and are expecting a new level of transparency from brands and retailers. For brands, traceability is essential to building trust with consumers, and it also enables quick responses to recalls or issues at any point in the supply chain. When and where were the ingredients or components of a product created? Did sensitive ingredients or components experience unsafe temperature fluctuations? What supply chain path did this product take? Is this product being recalled and how quickly can the brand react? Were regulatory and compliance requirements met? The answers to these and similar questions can only be determined with accurate, verified data that is traceable along the entire supply chain. These demands have created new challenges for companies of all sizes from a wide variety of industries including retail, healthcare, transport and logistics, and food service. The Challenge For this hackathon, how can you use technology to create solutions that address critical supply chain issues related to visibility and traceability? How do we make the supply chain more visible, take advantage of the data generated, and ensure that data can be trusted and shared from start to finish? End to end supply chain visibility requires technology interoperability to ensure solution choice and to avoid vendor lock in, and GS1 Standards exists to facilitate interoperability. As such, solutions should focus on leveraging the GS1 system of standards to solve challenges like: Engagement of upstream supply chain partners (growers, fishermen, raw material manufacturers) with limited technical capability and connectivity Temperature and other environmental condition monitoring Product transformation traceability Manufacturing regulatory and standard practice compliance attestations Creating a mechanism that finds and connects all the parties involved in a supply chain path, since not all parties may even be aware of one another Technologies such as (but not limited to) blockchain, AI, and ML may be leveraged to build an innovative solution that brings visibility to the supply chain and makes traceability easy and simple for the consumer or business. Your solution should document the various stages a product goes through in the supply chain, from the average commercial fishermen with limited technology experience to the large corporations with sophisticated ERP systems. The solution must demonstrate interoperability capability. Developers with skills in supply chain application development, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain, and various coding languages such as JSON, XML, JavaScript and others who are interested in solving these problems are invited to a fun and challenging hackathon in San Francisco on October 19th and 20th. You will be provided with resources and support from mentors from various industries to help you create solutions that can help solve the traceability issues in supply chains, as well as bring more visibility to the life of a product as it goes from creation, to production to consumption. The Prizes The Challenge is endowed with a $20,000 prize pool: 1st Prize: $10,0002nd Prize: $4,0003rd Prize: $2,000 Additional category prizes will also be awarded. Projects that win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place are NOT eligible to win the category prizes. Categories are most innovative, best use of technology, and best presentation. All prizes will be divided equally between each member of the winning Team. Most Innovative: $1,000Best Use of Technology: $1,000Best Presentation: $1,000Random Drawing for All Qualified Solutions: $1,000 The Agenda Day 1 | Saturday, October 19, 20198:00am - Doors open / Registration & Badge Pick-Up / Breakfast9:00am - Kickoff and Introductions9:30am - Ideation & Team Formation11:00am - Crash Tests12:00pm - Lunch2:00pm - Technical Workshop form Microsoft or Google4:00pm - Activity6:00pm - Dinner7:00pm - Presentation Overview / Demo Tips8:00pm - Team Registration Due12:00am - End of Day 1 Day 2 | Sunday, October 20, 20198:00am - Breakfast / Technical Support Resumes9:00am - Hacking Continues10:00am - AV Checks & Pitch Practice11:00am - Project Submission Due12:00pm - Lunch2:00pm - Final Presentations4:00pm - Judges Deliberate5:00pm - Winners Announcement6:00pm - End of Day 2 Register here today!
