Enjoy delicious meals, a supportive environment, and a reception to celebrate our hard work! Curious to learn more? Read about our first-ever event in 2019. Women, people of color, LGBTQ, service members/vets, and other communities are encouraged to participate. No tech skills required; all levels and disciplines welcome. Frequenty Asked Questions What is a hackathon? A hackathon is an time-bound “invention marathon” where people from different backgrounds come together to learn, build, and share their creations in a supportive setting. Who can sign up to participate? Created by students for students, Hacking Public Health is designed for graduate and undergraduate students across Massachussets. We seek representation from all backgrounds ("A-Z") personally and professionally.  Is the event free? When is the deadline to register? Participating is free, but students must register to confirm your attendance because of the limited number of spots. We encourage you to register as early as possible. What can I expect? The day of, you will meet other peers in your tracks, form teams to brainstorm ideas and design solutions, and pitch proposals in your track. Students will learn from team mentors, workshop leaders, and judges, and will have the chance to win awards in your track. Do I need to have a technical or technology background? Not at all! We value and need diverse backgrounds and experiences to create a dynamic, collaborative environment where we can all develop ideas to promote public health. We welcome students from a spectrum of tech backgrounds, from none to expert. What if I don’t have an idea? That’s normal. Most people don’t have an idea before the event (don’t worry about that). Come curious to learn and ready to participate! Do I need to have a team? How will participants form teams? You don't need a team to sign up! After hearing other students' pitches, teams will form organically based on people’s interest in working on the same idea that was pitched. You can join a team around someone else’s pitch or form a team around something that you pitched. Which track should I participate in? Rank the tracks according to your interests, skills, etc. - whatever resonates with you! We will do our best to accomodate your preferred ranks. What should I bring to the hackathon? What resources will be provided? First, bring your enthusiasm! Second, bring whatever might be useful - laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc. We will hold workshops to support your work. Will food be provided? We will provide breakfast, snacks, and lunch, followed by a post-event reception. We encourage participants to bring their own snacks too. How do I connect to a wireless network during the hackathon? Students can access the Harvard Secure or Guest network. How do I get to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health? We strongly encourage participants to use public transit because HSPH is on the Green “E” Line (stop: Brigham Circle), the #66 bus line, and a 5 minute walk from the HU Shuttle to Longwood. MBTA has an online planning tool to plan your trip. How can I contact the organizer with any questions? You can reach us at hackathon@hsph.harvard.edu

Friendly one-day multi-city coding competition for baseball fans - Baseball Hack Day Sat. March 21, 2020 - Boston

Building the Stack Last year, we celebrated 10 years of Bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrency. This year, we focus on the state of the art of the emerging protocol stack--the foundations on which we will build the future of Bitcoin and blockchain.Current internet infrastructure communicates seamlessly and allows both devs and users to operate without regard the intricacies of how everything works. We believe Bitcoin should strive to achieve something similar. With this goal in mind, the 2020 MIT Bitcoin Expo is going to be one of the most interesting yet! At this year’s expo there will be three events happening simultaneously, co-located at MIT: 1. MIT Bitcoin Expo The namesake conference, which will focus on the growing technology stack we believe is central to the emerging Bitcoin and blockchain ecosystem. 2. MIT Bitcoin Hackathon This year’s hackathon focuses on building out the components of a blockchain stack so we can expand the technology’s usefulness and increase adoption. This 24-hour hackathon will bring together students for a weekend of coding, learning, experimenting, and collaborating. Separate registration required at link above. 3. Inaugural Peer Reviewed Cryptoeconomic Systems Conference The Cryptoeconomic Systems journal and conference series aims to be a reputable peer reviewed venue for impactful original research and reviews, analyses & systematizations of existing knowledge with a focus on cryptocurrency & blockchain technology. The CES '20 conference program brings together the technical fields of cryptography, protocol engineering and distributed systems research with insights from the domains of economics, law, complex systems and philosophy to help crystallize a mature research commons. The Cryptoeconomic Systems journal is to be published by The MIT Press using a diamond open access policy with first issue available later this year. PDFs of papers accepted by CES '20 will be made available alongside the conference program shortly. For speaker announcements and all expo related updates be sure to sign up for our mailing list and follow us on twitter!
