List of hackathons in Belgium in 2018

Welkom op de registratiepagina van de achtste editie van Apps For Ghent. Dit jaar is het thema ruimte! Denk maar aan satellietdata, satellietbeelden, andere ruimte-data...  We bekijken Gent vanuit de ruimte, maar ook omgekeerd, de ruimte bekeken vanuit Gent. Je kan kiezen om te registreren als bezoeker of als deelnemer aan de hackathon. - Als deelnemer registreer je je als hacker. Je krijgt dan van 9u tot 15u de tijd om jouw idee/concept verder uit te werken tot een applicatie. Je kan je als team registreren en zo andere teamleden uitnodigen. - Of je registreert je als bezoeker en je komt kijken naar de resultaten van de coders of je komt luisteren naar één van de boeiende talks overheen de dag. De hackathon zal plaatsvinden in het E-gebouw van Stad Gent, dicht bij het Woodrow Wilsonplein (Franklin Rooseveltlaan 1, 9000 Gent) Meer informatie op http://appsforghent.be/2018 Wat mag ik wel/niet meebrengen naar het evenement? Breng zeker je eigen laptop en brainstorm materiaal mee. Wij voorzien drank, eten en WiFi.

Stel, je zit je vanuit het International Space Station te vergapen op de schoonheid van Gent. Van daarboven zie je op een andere manier hoe de stad leeft, beweegt, evolueert. Waar zou jij op letten? Welke inzichten zou jij willen verwerven? Waar zou jij de satelliet voor gebruiken? Tijdens deze workshop gaan we aan de slag in het stadsmuseum STAM. Op basis van een heel grote luchtfoto van Gent zoeken we naar toepassingen van satellietdata voor de stad. De beste inzichten, uitdagingen, oplossingen… nemen we mee naar de jaarlijke Apps for Ghent Hackathon. Daar gaan teams van hackers aan de slag met satellietdata. Met de workshop in het STAM willen wij de hackers alvast wat inspireren. Wie weet wordt jouw idee wel opgepikt?!
