List of hackathons in Pasadena, United States in 2018

Participation and registration is by invitation - to learn more or apply please visit the hackathon website. The Creating Reality hackathon is structured more like a 4-day SXSW than a traditional hackathon that will set a record for both size and originality of project submissions. Its foundation is a one-time, purpose-built, diverse, international and large-scale community of 400 participants, selected from over 2,000 applications. This community’s core purpose is to deepen our understanding of how these technologies can be applied. The hackathon is modeled after the successful Reality VIrtually Hackathon sponsored by the MIT Media Lab and adapted for the USC and LA community. It begins on Monday, March 12th with enabling workshops, followed by two days of building AR and VR experiences.The 400 participants  will form interdisciplinary teams that will build original work that deepens our understanding of how AR and VR can be applied.. For a preview, please watch the recap videos from the Reality VIrtually Hackathon sponsored by the MIT Media Lab 2016 and 2017.  To learn more or apply please visit the hackathon website.

“The computer is incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid. Man is unbelievably slow, inaccurate, and brilliant. The marriage of the two is a challenge and opportunity beyond imagination.” What if the most creative minds channeled their focus into solving the most impactful problems of today? Imagine if we could apply the ingenuity that powers the most profound technology available today into solving problems for others. On March 3, 2018, Immaculate Heart High School will host a middle school and high school hackathon to create personal technology. Experts and students from all disciplines, skill levels, and locations will meet to identify problems that affect their peers, then will unite to develop solutions to these problems. For 11 hours, these hackers, experts, and mentors will be together to bring their ideas to fruition. At the end of the event, they will have the opportunity to present their solutions to the judges and the world.

The Associated Students of Biomedical Engineering is a student led undergraduate biomedical engineering organization at USC that serves the engineering student body via a comprehensive calendar of academic, social, mentoring, outreach, and professional events. Students gain insight into both their chosen field of study and the opportunities that are specific to the biomedical engineering major. The Makeathon is a medical device design competition meant to encourage students to innovate solutions for real-world applications in a collaborative environment. Students hone design, prototyping, and presentation skills throughout the competition, and develop skills that will continue to serve them in their future endeavors. The Makeathon is, in essence, a hackathon for designers instead of coders.  In 30 hours, 18 teams of 4-5 people will brainstorm, design, and CAD a device under material and functional constraints. Though biomedical engineering students are the target demographic, undergraduates from other fields are encouraged to participate. The objective of the Makeathon is to submerge students in an environment that simulates engineering teams in the real world. We encourage students to form teams of varying levels of experience and pair students that may not know each other. Working with new people, and with people who know more or less than you is vital to being an engineer post graduation. The added pressure of time and design constraints acts to accelerate the team experience. We feel that students walk away from the event with a deeper understanding of themselves and how they work with others, in addition to all of the product development and engineering design skills that are accumulated throughout the competition.

Previous DevLabs All attendees are expected to abide by the Girl Develop It Code of Conduct.   Technical Details for Lab Exercises (please set up ahead of time) Note that though M2X, Flow Designer, and TI LaunchPads work with most operating systems, only Mac OS and Windows are supported during the DevLab.   Installing Postman and cURL for the Lab Exercises The lab exercises use Postman and cURL so please install them before the event.   Postman We will use cURL for the M2X API lab exercises but you can also use Postman (a free Chrome add-in) if you prefer. You can download Postman at http://www.getpostman.com and the Chrome browser at http://www.google.com/chrome.     cURL For the lab exercises we will use cURL, a powerful command-line tool for making HTTP calls. Pre-requisites: Windows 7 or later (cURL is already installed on Mac computers) Downloading curl Use the following steps to install curl: Open http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin in a browser. Select your operating system in the dropdown box: either Windows /Win32 or Win 64. Click Select! For Win 32, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or in a Cygwin terminal (cygwin). For Win 64, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or MinGW (MinGW64). Click Select! If required, choose your Windows operating system. Finish. Click Download for the version which has SSL enabled. Choose a version with support for SSL. Open the downloaded zip file. Extract the files to an easy-to-find place, such as C:\Program Files. Testing curl Open up the Windows Command Prompt terminal. (From the Start menu, click Run, then type cmd.) Set the path to include the directory where you put curl.exe. For example, if you put it in C:\Program Files\curl, then you would type the following command: set path=%path%;"c:\Program Files\curl" Type curl. You should see the following message: curl: try 'curl –help' or 'curl –message' for more information This means that curl is installed and the path is correct. Type: curl https://api-m2x.att.com/v2/status?pretty You should see JSON returned: {   "api":"OK",   "triggers":"OK" }    Setting Up the Energia IDE The Energia IDE allows you to communicate with the TI device.
