        Girls in Tech Vancouver Hacking for Humanity Hackathon 2019
        04 May - 10:00 AM
        Vancouver, Canada
        Hello Vancouver! Join us for the 2nd annual Girls in Tech Vancouver Hacking for Humanity Hackathon. This hackathon will take place at DevHub, located in beautiful downtown Vancouver, from May 4 - 5, 2019. Expect prizes, food, speaking engagements, and most importantly - lots of fun!  What is Hacking for Humanity? Hacking for Humanity is a 2-day code-a-thon where developers, designers, scientists, students, entrepreneurs, educators, and mentors work together to build apps that solve social problems. We believe that when communities work together, they don't just do good, they become a force for global change. As an organization founded on inclusivity and equality, we invite all women, men, and nonbinary, gender-fluid, genderqueer++ to participate and collaborate!  The hackathon is part of a global series by Girls in Tech that takes place throughout the year in various cities around the world. Each chapter partners with Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) to solve social problems local to their community.  Get hands-on experience, make friends, network, and be part of a global community - starting here in Vancouver! How is the Girls in Tech Hackathon different than other Hackathons? Hacking for Humanity is NOT your typical 24-hour hackathon. This year, we are partnering with Minerva BC to present our theme. Although this is a female-focused hackathon, participants of all genders (and non-identifying genders) are encouraged to join! We encourage diverse groups to come together and create amazing projects! Mentorship from industry professionals will be available during the hackathon, as well as amazing prizes for our winners! This event is held over 2 days but you get to go home for a good night's rest after day 1 of hacking. You can return on day 2 refreshed and ready to polish your project for presenting and judging. We have found that this format is more female-inclusive because nobody feels pressured to sleep over or lose sleep over a hackathon. Partnering Non-Profit Organization We are partnering with Minerva BC who will be presenting how their organization supports equality for women. Minerva BC is a non-profit charitable organization that supports women and girls throughout the province to gain the confidence and skills they need to reach their leadership potential.  Who Is Invited? We encourage everyone (ages 18+) with a minimum of 3 months of coding experience to join! (Experience with some coding and setting up your coding environment is strongly recommended.) The best innovations are made by diverse groups. All we ask is to have at least one female in your group. Feel free to come with a group or join on your own - Girls in Tech will help you find a group if needed! Don't be afraid to come out, make friends, and innovate.

A hackathon is a design and coding event where computer programmers, graphic designers, UI/UX designers, project managers, and other domain experts come together and collaborate intensively on a project. Hackathons may have a specific area of focus, which can include programming languages used, the operating system, an application, an API, or a challenge question. The goal of a hackathon is to create a usable software application where teams will have a proof-of-concept (POC) or a minimum-viable-product (MVP) to present at the end of the competition. Teams are usually composed of 4 people where teams have to come up with a new concept, not a project previously worked on before. The winning teams are chosen by a panel of industry professional judges and prizes are awarded to the winning team. How do I sign up as a team? Ticket holders will receive a Google form prior to the event to list out their team preferences and other information. Just make sure everyone on your team purchased their ticket and we'll make sure you get to work together! Keep in mind the team size is 4 persons and we will be randomly assigning participants to teams that have less than four.  I don't have a team. Can I come alone? Yes! We highly encourage everyone to participate in our event. Our goal is to create an inclusive community here in Vancouver. We will be assigning teams randomly so you will get a chance to work with new individuals and make friends! What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? Transit Skytrain - Vancouver City Centre Metro - Granville 246 - West Georgia at Richards St. 250 - West Georgia at Homer St. Parking There is a paid parking lot in the building, located off Homer Street from 6:00am to midnight Monday to Friday and Sunday, Saturday and Stat holidays from 8:00am to midnight.

Purchase a spectator ticket and join us later on in the evening from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Enjoy food and non-alcoholic beverages as you get to see and learn how a ConcordAI Artificial Intelligence Hackathon works as well as listen to presentations offered by interesting artificial intelligence startups and experts in the field. More details below. ConcordAI Artificial Intelligence Hackathon Duration: 8:00am-8:00pm Apply individually and we will take care of grouping you into a team or invent a team name and apply to participate with people you already know. You are not expected to be an artificial intelligence expert to participate in this activity, although some coding experience will help you solve the challenge. Mentors will be available at the event to help guide you in case you get stuck. Beginning at 6 PM judges will briefly listen to, see, and discuss your team's work as well as give advice. Following the end of the ConcordAI Hackathon at 8:00pm, a few of the teams will present and demo their work and judges will deliberate and help decide on the winning teams. Judges include Elisabeth Laett and Jorge Campos from Exagens, Jean-François Connolly from Ivado, Sydney Swaine-Simon from District 3, Phil Rivard from NextAI, Héctor Palacios from Element AI, and Arthur Prats from Catallaxy. You are also welcome to stay until the end of presentations and entertainment at 10:00pm. Those participating in the ConcordAI Artificial Intelligence Hackathon will be provided the opportunity to apply for the ConcordAI AI Research and Development Mentorship Spring Program. The program offers participants the opportunity to be mentored by AI experts as they gain valuable AI knowledge and experience through working with Montreal startups on real-world AI challenges. The program is a part-time weekly time commitment. Challenges: Funartech Emotive AI project: After a successful first cohort, Funartech is glad to renew its partnership with ConcordAI to continue on our innovative project to inject emotions into chatbots. In a classical machine learning approach, the system/bot will detect patterns in the data and reproduce it. In our radical new approach, the system is autonomous and taking decisions by itself. This is a first step towards an open door to AGI! If you are interested in building the AI of the future, join us! Hackathon Challenge: Develop a system where direct human feedback could be used to improve a sentiment analysis system. The idea is to improve an automatic sentiment analysis system (use known libraries for this) by including humans in the loop. More information: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tCXWRvcBdo4ayDEqGxv6DPEk96CGuK3c/view?usp=sharing Itinerum ConcordAI Project: Itinerum is an open-source smartphone travel survey platform. Its goal is to allow researchers (municipal, academic, community groups, etc.) to easily customize and administer their own smartphone travel surveys. This tool and the data it collects has the potential to revolutionize how cities are planned in an era of Smart Cities. Itinerum has already been used in over a dozen studies including three annual studies with the City of Montreal under the name MTL Trajet. In each study, different methods have been used to process, analyze and visualize the data, with each team developing their own methods leading to duplication of techniques. The goal of this program is to put talented developers to the task of developing AI approaches that will be able to automatically process and prepare the data for use in Smart City transportation planning and analysis. An essential aspect is identifying trip information from GPS data and determining attributes such a vehicle choices and purposes of the trip. The long-term goal is to have a tool that makes the analysis and visualization of Itinerum data as easy as running an Itinerum smartphone study.  More: https://www.itinerum.ca OVA ConcordAI Project Project information coming soon... https://ova.ai Artificial Intelligence Presentations and Hackathon viewing Duration: 6:00pm-10:00pm Enjoy an evening of presentations from Montreal artificial intelligence startups and experts as well as get the opportunity to see what a ConcordAI Artificial Intelligence Hackathon resembles. Following the presentations, indulge in the tasty food and non-alcoholic beverages all included with your ticket purchase. Gluten-free and vegan options available. Diversity Artificial Intelligence Concordia strongly supports diversity in tech and we do so by prioritizing the selection of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, minorities, Indigenous Peoples and differently abled individuals for 75% of the spots available at our AI hackathon and 12-week program. Given the impacts of AI on the world we live in, we believe that the population should be appropriately and fairly represented in tech in order to ensure that everyone’s interests, contributions and creativity are reflected. You are all valuable and you are all important. Artificial Intelligence Concordia Policy All of our events have a strict, no tolerance policy against violent, aggressive, inappropriate, and/or unprofessional behaviour. Those who are identified as behaving in a way that goes against our policy will be told to leave the premises immediately. Should you be made to feel targeted or uncomfortable or should you witness another person experiencing a situation of this nature, you are welcome and encouraged to come forward and speak to someone from the Artificial Intelligence Concordia management team. Individuals who approach our management team about such issues will with be warmly welcomed, actively listened to, taken seriously, and action will be taken immediately to address and remedy the situation. The ConcordAI Hackathon will last throughout the entire day. Students will be given mandates from real technology start-ups and will work together in small groups to find solutions to the challenges they have been given. Unlike most Hackathons, students will be encouraged to collaborate and help other teams in a friendly, safe and inclusive environment. We strive to promote a more inclusive tech culture by prioritizing the empowerment of women, minorities, LGBTQ+, differently abled and Indigenous Peoples, and therefore we will give priority to these groups for 75% of the available spots within this activity. At the end of this event, attendees will be welcome to enter the hackathon, observe the hackathon participants finalizing their projects, observe the hackathon team acknowledgements and prize distributions as well as enjoy an entertaining, pleasant, social and networking atmosphere afterwards. Inviting university students to attend and observe the end of our hackathon, despite not having participated in it, is an initiative we hope will help to demystify hackathons to students who may otherwise feel too intimidated or “not good enough” to participate in these types of activities. This venue is wheelchair accessible. We would like to acknowledge that Concordia University is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the organizing team immediately. Organizers will be happy to help participants contact local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. All participants accept that they are responsible and accountable for their own actions.
