Ever wanted to spend a day working with other data enthusiasts on a Kaggle competition? If so, then this is the event for you. `Organised by the London Data Science workshop meetup, the basic plan for the day is to find other people who want to work on a Kaggle competition and spend the day hacking and discussing (and eating pizza!) with them. All that's required from you is a laptop with an R and / or Python environment and your data science know-how. If you want to see what competitions are currently available, check them out here. If you are a complete novice check out the Titanic tutorials -- there will be a Kaggle 101 group during the hackathon where this is often explored. All levels from complete novices to experienced data scientists are welcome at the meetup.A rough agenda will be as follows:• Arrive about 10:30am and form teams to start hacking away at different Kaggle competitions• Break for lunch around 1pm• Start hacking again!• Lightning talks from 5pm. A massive thank you to comparethemarket.com (and those meerkats) for hosting us. Also, a big thank you to H2O.ai who have kindly agreed to provide us with the all important pizza for the day. We look forward to seeing you there.- London Data Science workshop organisers

Mighty hackers and tech lovers, the time has come to prove the world who's the best hacker in South England! This is the moment that all HackaSotoners have been waiting for since the beginning of the academic year. If you've attended a hackathon before, you know how much fun they are. If you haven't, come and we'll show you. HackaSoton and Entrepreneurs Club are inviting you to the biggest hackathon of the year: Hack The South! We're calling out for people with ingenious thinking, rockstar programming skills, curious beginners, or even business guys, to join us for an entire weekend of developing. Here's how it works: if you have an idea, you come over and pitch; if you don't know what to work on, join others and lead your team to glory (i.e. winning the hackathon). If you're a pro, you'll surely find something challenging to work on. However, even if you're just starting or only know Java (hey, if that's what they teach at uni...) don't fear—people with no prior coding experience managed to deliver awesome results in past hackathons.We know, we know: "hacking" the world is not an easy job. FOOD and REFRESHMENTS will be provided throughout the weekend, as always. There's that quote... Stay Hungry Stay Foolish... well, not at our hackathon ;)We are very excited about this and we are expecting to see some amazing ideas come to life by the end of the hackathon. Our amazing sponsors will be announced soon.FAQ What is a hackathon?During a hackathon you have 24 hours to work with a small team on something new and exciting. You will compete with other teams, but in the end everyone is a winner! What can I make?Anything! This may include both software and hardware. Does this cost money?Nope. This is completely free. Do I have to know how to code?No, as long as you want to work with others to help develop yours, or someone else’s idea! Generally, we need developers, designers and entrepreneurs! Is there food?More than you can imagine. Can I sleep there?There will be a sleeping area, but you should bring a sleeping bag if you really wish to sleep. If you are traveling from a long distance contact us after your application and we will try our best to accommodate you!

Overview The Medtech Accelerator Health Hack programme is a series of three workshops designed to engage a wide community of stakeholders, focused on stimulating innovation within the NHS, through the identification and development of innovative new products and services with the potential to meet unmet clinical needs and generate commercial benefit. Latest Event Theme: Patient Safety  Patient safety is an emotive and currently high-profile subject, encompassing a wide range of points on the care pathway. We are seeking novel medical technology solutions (medical devices, equipment, diagnostics, medical software, IT platforms, mobile apps) that work to prevent errors in healthcare that can cause harm to patients across hospitals, primary care, community care, ambulatory care, mental health services and home care. What are we Looking for?Idea or Problem Owners (Innovators)  We are aiming to engage 6-10 individuals/teams from NHS organisations in the region to participate in each of our events. We are looking for Idea Owners with innovations in the broad area of medical technology (devices, diagnostics, software and eHealth) that meet unmet clinical needs. Such innovations will be primarily based upon NHS intellectual property (IP) that show the potential to create new company opportunities within the East of England. Problem Owners who don’t yet have a solution for their unmet need are also welcome.  Support ActorsWhat are we Looking for? Some of the Idea or Problem Owners may be from purely clinical backgrounds with no substantial experience of product design or hardware/software development, so they may need assistance in developing their idea and guidance in assessing the market opportunity, identifying the best development approach, selecting other delivery partners, quantifying the development costs and subsequent funding/investment needs and developing a sound commercialisation strategy. As such, we will be seeking to recruit the following participants: Clinical stakeholders, subject-matter experts and other NHS staff Software/hardware developers Academics/researchers Regulatory experts/consultants Business/marketing/strategy consultants What will Happen at the Event? Idea Owners will pitch their ideas or challenge areas, on the day, to an audience of support actors (designers, hardware/software developers and product development engineers along with business and marketing specialists). They will then form into teams in order to ‘workshop’ the ideas into a more complete proposal, which they will then pitch to a panel of judges. The Idea Owners will need to provide clinical/strategic/operational guidance during this process in order to ensure that the proposed solution addresses the problem identified and meets the twin challenges of improving quality and reducing cost.  Expected Outcomes  The judges will pick one or more of the ideas to go forward and pitch their idea to the Medtech Accelerator Investment Panel, with a chance of winning up to £125,000 of funding to develop the idea. The remaining projects will all be offered the opportunity of further mentoring and support from HEE & the EAHSN.

Will do the first on over one on the 30th of April. We will scale the hackathons over several days over time. Will Coding be necessary? Coding will not be mandatory, we will encourage the teams to go as far as possible in the tokenomics and blockchain design to have a robust solution. Any background is welcome to join. You will need to be comfortable that you can deliver the solution presented if a government is interested. The top 3 teams selected for the crypto dragons den will have a few days to polish their projects. More coding might be worth doing at this stage as the teams will be on the grill with a panel of highly knowledgeable industry and blockchain influencers
