List of hackathons in San Rafael, United States in 2018

We’re a club that provides kids learning opportunities that are self-guided where kids determine their interests in exploring and creating code in a family-friendly learning environment. They are free to talk to their friends, meet new people, start new group projects, move around, and check out what other kids are doing — in short have FUN! We host sessions once to twice a month, have occasional special events, like hackathons and pizza parties, sometimes there are prizes, usually tasty snacks, but always there’s a welcome, supportive, atmosphere where kids can learn and still be…kids! 

DESCRIPTION Join us for the first ever Genentech / BCHT Hackathon!  Come spend the day ideating and networking with Genentech and fellow graduate students on a question of strategic importance to Genentech and the patients it serves.  Please read below for details on the event, we hope you can make it! Challenge/Prompt Genentech's Access Solutions team is a key cog in the company.  Their mission is to help patients access the Genentech medicines they need.  After a Genentech product is prescribed, Access Solutions helps providers and patients navigate questions regarding insurance coverage, reimbursement, and financial support.  Learn more about Access Solutions services at https://www.genentech-access.com/hcp.html. As the US healthcare space and patient needs evolve, so must Access Solutions.  Therefore, we are challenging Hackathon teams to create a scalable, sustainable, and flexible Access Solutions operating model that simultaneously allows them to address annual volume growth (without adding staff proportionally) and prepares them to best serve the patient of tomorrow.  Specifically, we'd like teams to consider: What innovative approaches or technologies might Access Solutions adopt to scale their services cost effectively? As Genentech’s portfolio expands into new therapeutic areas, how might Access Solutions address the needs of increasingly diverse patient populations? How might Access Solutions services need to evolve given macro trends in healthcare and consumerism? To help teams consider this challenge, Genentech will make a background information slide deck available digitally starting 4/13 and present that information live at the start of the Hackathon.  Additionally, Genentech Access Solutions and managed care experts will be available throughout the day of the Hackathon to talk through questions. Structure Teams of 4-5 will spend the day working together to generate innovative approaches to the strategic challenge outlined below.  At the end of the day, teams submit a short deliverable and live presentation of that deliverable to a team of Genentech experts.  Following the event, a Genentech team will evaluate the deliverables and decide upon one winning team and one runner-up. The winning team will receive $5,000 and the runner-up will receive $2,500. In order to facilitate team formation, we are asking students to please use this Google Doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CAIB2gzj7UcxELwthIgkkGoPSyrVHu9-p91dB8oWJeo/edit?usp=sharing) to sign up for a team in addition to registering through this Eventbrite page.  Please don't forget to do both!

MindsHACK is a 2 day hackathon that will be held at SkyDeck in the heart of Downtown Berkeley. The event is open to anyone who has a passion for data science, innovation and building things with technology. The only task of the hackathon is to deliver a product that can make any types of prediction, using our AI algorithm. Come participate in this fast-paced environment to interact with people interested in innovation and technology, build a product with provided databases and algorithms and win some cool prizes! 

Join us in downtown San Francisco for this 2-day non-sleepover hackathon. Come build a project with like-minded individuals, work with some incredible technologies & APIs, make new friends, and show off your project to the world! The top 6 teams get to demo their app for our livestream, and the top 3 get to present on stage.

Do you love Planet Earth and want to see it thrive and sustained for future generations? Do you want to be part of the solutions to some of the pressing problems facing our planet? Come join us for the inaugural Stanford Big Earth data hackathon is aimed at understanding, identifying and solving planet problems of interest using satellite and other large earth-based data sets. Please NOTE: this is event is ONLY OPEN to STANFORD undergraduate and graduate students with a valid Stanford ID. (We hope to open future events to the a wider audience) see bigearthhacks.stanford.edu for more information.

At the end of this workshop, you will be capable of writing your own production ready end-to-end dapps using cutting edge frameworks and best practices. This workshop will take a deep dive into the ERC-721 standard emphasizing tests, code coverage tools, and gas usage profilers to help us write optimal and secure code. We'll go over common Solidity pitfalls, known attacks, and the reasons behind community acknowledged best practices. In this course we'll be using popular frameworks such as OpenZeppelin, Truffle and Infura for faster development. This workshop is ideal for someone with a coding background who knows the basics about Ethereum and enjoys learning at a fast pace. You will learn about Ethereum standards (ERC-20 and ERC-721) that allow you to create your own custom tokens, write an ERC-721 (non-fungible) smart contract from scratch, along with tests, learn to use powerful frameworks like OpenZeppelin, Truffle, and Infura, create a front-end UI to interact with web3 and your deployed contract. The ERC-721 standard was first developed and implemented by CryptoKitties, the world’s most successful game on the blockchain. After this course, you will have a thorough understanding of how to create your own distinguishable assets on the blockchain, with potential use cases ranging from games, collectibles, art, or even identity, documents, records, and much more. This course is taught by Elena Nadolinski, a software engineer at Airbnb and co-creator of Ethmoji.io. She has won prizes at multiple Ethereum hackathons — EthWaterloo for building decentralized video streaming on IPFS and World Crypto Economics Forum (WCEF) hackathon for building a crypto-collectibles token generator. Most recently, she was invited to the EthDenver hackathon to give a workshop on how to create your own ERC-721 tokens, which was attended by over 500 people.

As we know, an accurate 3D map of the world has purpose beyond safe autonomous vehicle navigation and cross-platform persistent augmented reality content; it can facilitate innovation, democratize the development of location-based applications and services, and establish a transparent reading and writing of our Earth’s information. Mapping on the blockchain is a way for us to restore agency and ownership in the creation and usage of our maps, without third party control or censorship. Community cartography can be unreliable and impractical, but with MAP, community cartography is an easy and intuitive process. Anyone can be part of creating the open map of the future. Arnaud Dazin is the Creator and Chief Executive Officer of MAP LTD. Arnaud is an engineering architect whose work in video games, healthtech and adtech has garnered him international recognition. He has been at the forefront of free-to-play’s rise for both PC and mobile, most notably as an early employee at mobile games giant Storm8, a network with over a billion downloads and 50 million monthly active users. He has an active interest in software development, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and augmented reality. This deep appreciation for technology fostered a longstanding dream of creating MAP—a decentralized, dynamic distributed layer of the world around us—and compelled him to make his vision a reality. As the CEO of ADVR, Inc., Arnaud leads an existing business towards building a future where digital data can be embedded in virtual and augmented worlds. Arnaud has given international talks in Asia, Europe, and in the USA on scaling products, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain. Doors open at 8:00pm; talk starts at 9.00pm. About Node:Come to San Francisco’s newest private members club and gain insider knowledge on the exploding blockchain and crypto industry.
