This CATCH workshop on Technology for Independence will include a full programme including an inspiring invited speaker and presentations on a range of topics including: innovative switch developments; Specialist NHS England Environmental Control services update; outcome measures for Environmental Control; innovative communication aid developments; and assistive technology hackathons. CATCH have also secured support from Pitch-In (see below for more details) to run an afternoon session focusing on the Internet of Things and internet connected assistive technologies. There will be opportunity to discuss how you see the IoT working with the 'kit' you use in the future and also how your devices currently use the internet/network connectivity. We will also be looking to involve AT developers/suppliers. Simon Wheatcroft has confirmed he will present as the invited speaker. Simon lost his sight in his teenage years but Simon not only navigates his everyday life, but also runs outdoors with only a Smartphone app called Runtracker and his remaining senses as a guide. Indeed Simon has competed in ultra-marathons around the UK, and continues to test himself in other parts of the world, including New York and a North African desert! In addition Simon has taken advantage of his unique skill-base and assisted leading technology companies with their products; by improving accessibility through inclusive user-centric design.

As part of this initiative, we are running a series of workshops in order to: (i) promote awareness of IoT to the health/care sector; (ii) provoke a discussion about the concerns raised by and the barriers to its application; and (iii) identify possible applications of IoT and collaborations that will take forward those ideas. As part of the workshop on Monday 17th December, we would like to include some short demonstrations of ‘real’ applications of IoT technologies to make the concept more concrete for attendees. We have in mind any system comprised of connected devices which share data about the people, things and places around them, along with mechanisms to aggregate and analyse that data, and then to take appropriate actions in order to improve the state of people or their environments. Here we’re specifically interested in systems that are intended to improve the health, wellbeing or independence of users. Note that these systems need not be ‘user facing’, e.g. be for resource usage monitoring or more efficient automatic environmental controls. If you have such a system and would like the opportunity to demonstrate it during the workshop, please get in touch with Stephen Potter - Stephen.Potter@sheffield.ac.uk.

Welcome to the Institute of Hackorcism This Hackathon explores the opportunity for raising awareness in data ethics inspired by moments that arise when data and individuals meet in an unexpected, ‘uncanny‘ way. This means, for example, when conversations from the car reappear as advertising on Facebook. Or, if Google Mail suggests accurate automated answers and you know this means the system can read and understand the content. Isn‘t it scary when Alexa starts laughing at night without a command? This isn't magic. It is the current best-case of an incomplete system. Invisible and hidden in the shadow of our daily online addiction, its knowledge growing and thriving irresistibly faster ...For one day, we are developing new ‘uncanny‘ horror scenarios of Human-AI interaction. Whether with pen and paper or sensors and semi-conductors. You don't have to be an AI expert. Come over, be part of the Institute of Hackorcism and let your creativity run wild into the dark side... · Call for Coder, Designer, Researcher· Please bring your laptop· Uncanny starter kit (Arduino)· Nice food & drinks Task:Build a project which uses your technical and creative skills to make something scary and the invisible visible 11:00 am — Open Doors11:30 am — Introduction12:00 pm to 04:30 pm — Hackorcism05:00 pm — Show & Tell06:00 pm — End (Pub)We expect around 15 participants.Please note: At the same time, the MA Design Expanded Practice is hosting its Degree Show at St. James's Church. The Hackathon is spatially separated, though participants are welcome to visit the exhibition.If you have questions, don‘t hesitate to contact: instituteofhackorcism@gmail.com

This is a completely free Scala event organised by Skills Matter and the Community. We'll start with a series of introductions from our hosts who will discuss the challenges set. Where we'll invite all attendees create teams and decide upon sessions they would like to attend. We'll then split off to attend the sessions that interest us. The hacking and workshops/challenges running in tandem and an included lunch! Read and register here http://bit.ly/2DAEYDF

How many African dinosaurs can you name? How many people know Spinosaurus was found in north Africa? Did you know there’s a dinosaur whose name means ‘African hunter’? Afro Dino hack aims to bring together techies, black history nerds, dinosaur geeks and Museum collections enthusiasts to find new ways of making the data in repositories like the Natural History Museum Data Portal more accessible. Whether through games, educational resources, improved functionality or interactive art, we want to help make African dinosaurs famous! AfroFutures_UK in association with wildcard.js is proud to present the first Afro Dino Hack, an event where we can come together and make cool stuff happen using data and code. The event is open to folks of all skill levels. Schedule of events Friday 10am – Welcome 10:30am – Introduction to Afro Dino Hack Meet the team! What is a hackathon? What is the data portal? 11am – Let’s get ideating During this session, we will think of what we would like to make that is inspired by African dinosaurs. This is split into the following activities: Sketchstorm: draw out as many ideas as you can Share and describe: share your ideas with the people nearest to you, combine them and describe them to other groups What have we thought of? We will take a look at the ideas and people can choose which ones they want to work on. 12am – What do people think? 1pm – Lunch 2pm – Let’s get testing 3pm – Let’s get prototyping It’s time to try and make the idea a reality. Using the materials available, try and create the simplest version of the idea which a person could use. 4pm – Check in Now it’s time to show each other what we’ve made so far and what we’re looking forward to doing tomorrow. This session will be hosted on google hangouts. 5pm – Hometime!   Saturday 10am – Welcome 10:30am – What are we working on? A recap on the data portal Other data sources and tools you might want to use 11am – Choose your team! There will be several ideas and challenges that people have started from the previous day. Choose which one you will want to work on. You don’t have to pick a team and you can even create a whole new idea to work on. Don’t forget to try and test it first! Ideas and challenges presentations 11:30 – May the code begin! 1pm – Lunch break 2pm – How are we getting on? A group check-in where people can give quick updates on how things are going. 3:30pm – Preparing your presentations This is a good time to start thinking about what you will say about your project to the wider group. 4pm – Presentations The moment we’ve all been waiting for… this is when you get to share what you’ve made and some ideas about how it can be developed. This session will be hosted on google hangouts. 5pm – Hometime! Please note you are welcome to bring your own data sets provided it: Pertains to aspects of black history Is totally open access! For any other enquiries, please get in touch to afrofutures.uk@gmail.com. FAQs Who are you? We are AfroFutures_UK, a collective interested in exploring the intersections of race and technology through an AfroFuturist lens. Since 2015, we’ve hosted conferences and workshops, participated in panels and organised meetups where people can come together and imagine new futures. Our most recent events were based on coding and food production. Where and when? The hackathon will be held 14th-15th December at Camberwell library. It will be open to the public on both days from 10am. Who can join? The hackathon is open to everyone to join in, whether you’re a designer, coder, beginner or veteran, expert paleontologist or general enthusiast. There will be activities for ages 6 up. All under 16s must be supervised by an adult. Do I have to be there both days? No, you are more than welcome to join for one or both or a mix of the two. Friday will be more of a design jam type session where will be coming up with ideas of projects we can work on. Saturday is when the making and coding will start in earnest. You will get to choose which team you want to be part of and start contributing to the project. I’m not in the UK. Can I still join? Yes indeed! The data is freely available and we would also love to see you use data from your own Natural History Museum data portals. We will have team check ins at the end of each day via skype and a final show and tell on Saturday. You can join in the conversations on twitter using #afrodinohack We would recommend downloading the data a few days before the hackathon to get a feel for what it contains. Instructions for how this can be done are here. We look forward to seeing you there! Is it only dinosaurs? Although dinosaurs were the initial inspiration - because they’re amazing - we are open to people bringing their own open Museum data to the hackathon. However, we ask that the collection or the challenge they are trying to solve touches on some aspect of black history and we would prefer data to be focussed on collections of scientific interest. Is it funded? Not as of yet, but we’re pleased to report that the Natural History Museum data portal team will be a part of the event. How much will it be? The event is free, but people can ‘pay as they like’ for a ticket via eventbrite. All money collected will go towards AfroFutures_UK 2019 conference to which all participants will be invited and given an immediate spot to talk about their project.

About CCK Comp Chem Kitchen is a regular forum and seminar series to hear about and discuss computational methods for tackling problems in chemistry, biochemistry and drug discovery. It focuses principally on cheminformatics, computational chemistry, and molecular modelling, and overlaps with neighboring areas such as materials properties and bioinformatics. We’re keen to encourage people involved in coding and methods development (i.e. hackers, in the original untarnished sense of the word) to join us. Our hope is that we will share best practices, even code snippets and software tools, and avoid re-inventing wheels. In addition to local researchers, we invite speakers from industry and non-profits from time to time, and occasionally organize software demos and tutorials. If you're interested in giving a talk, here are some possible topics: Software development (e.g.: Python, C, C++, CUDA, shell, Matlab); Optimizing force field parameters & EVB models; Cheminformatics (e.g.: RDKit); X-ray and NMR crystallography, including small molecule and macromolecular; Protein & RNA modeling, including Molecular Dynamics; Virtual screening and Docking; Machine Learning; Quantum Methods, including DFT. Bring your laptops, by the way, if you have something you'd like to show!   Want to speak? Ideas for speakers? * If you have ideas for speakers, or would like to give a talk, let us know. We also invite lightning talks of 5 minutes (or fewer) from attendees, so if you have some cool code you’ve been working on and would like to demo, bring your laptop, smartphone, tablet, (wearable?) and tell us all about it. * Please pass this message on to friends, colleagues, and students who may be interested too! The main CCK web site is: http://compchemkitchen.org/ Follow us on Twitter: @CompChemKitchen See you soon! We’re looking forward to seeing and hearing about the diverse range of computational molecular science that you’re cooking up... —Garrett, Richard, Phil and Rob garrett.morris@stats.ox.ac.uk richard.cooper@chem.ox.ac.uk philip.biggin@bioch.ox.ac.uk robert.paton@chem.ox.ac.uk We would like to thank the University of Oxford MPLS Network and Interdisciplinary Fund for making CCK possible.
