TADHack, telecommunications weekend hackathon with cash prizes and goodies

BUILD, Kingdom Code’s annual hackathon is back for 2019. In October, join Christian technologists from across the UK and beyond to share ideas and kick start projects that integrate our Christian faith and  technical skill sets. Whether you’re a developer, designer, project manager, branding/marketing expert, ideator or something else entirely, enjoy taking a weekend to meet and work with others who share your desire to see God glorified through technology. Here’s what people have said about previous BUILD events: "I got to work on [solving] a problem for Christians Against Poverty that could be genuinely useful… while learning new front-end technologies. "Seeing the excitement and passion in people as they took ideas from conception to a presentable prototype was inspiring." "It was such a highlight to meet other Christian developers and discussing God centered technologies." BUILD 2019 is being hosted by St. John’s in Hoxton. St. John’s sits minutes away from Silicon Roundabout, London’s tech hub. They have long been a supporter of Kingdom Code and we’re really excited to be able to host the hackathon with them. Details about the 2019 challenges are coming soon, however to whet your appetite, check out some of the challenges from previous events: In 2017 Christians Against Poverty asked us “how can digital tools enable churches to serve the poor and save the lost in their local communities?” Home for Good asked “how could Home for Good better use digital tools to inspire people, support them in their fostering and adoption journey and enable them to be part of a growing movement?

The hackathon in London is hosted by Kingdom Code, a not-for-profit group, with a passion to help Christians in technology find encouragement and collaborate. Over half the budget will be met by the generosity of sponsors. Are you going to feed me?Yes! You'll be well fed over the course of the weekend. We'll eat together Friday dinner through to Saturday evening. There will be plenty of snacks and caffeine on tap. Is there a student discount?Maybe... if you ask nicely! Snap a photo of your student ID / NUS card and send us a tweet (@kcodeuk) and we'll see what we can do for you. Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?Kingdom Code is on Facebook and Twitter, send us a message there and we'll get back to you ASAP. Can I update my registration information?Yes! Just log into Eventbrite and update your information. I heard rumours of a cat...Alas, not this year. The new venue has no church cat (maybe a few church mice though…) Are there refunds?Sorry, we can't do refunds, however the tickets are transferable, so feel free to pass your ticket on to someone else (just remember to update the name on the ticket). Is there an age limit for the event?There is no age limit for the event, however under 18's must be accompanied by a legal guardian and cannot stay overnight. 24 hours? What about sleep?While some people will be working for the full 24 hours (caffeine provided in the ticket cost) it is certainly not expected! Don't worry you can go to sleep. We've set aside seperate rooms (including the church crypt) to put out a rollmat and catch some

In partnership with the Medical Technologies Skills Academy at University of Leeds, Leeds BeckettUniversity and Surgical MIC are holding a hackathon for students to get involved with innovationin medical technologies. It is an excellent opportunity to shape the health service of the future, gain experience of multi-disciplinary team working and connect with senior professionals from health and tech across the Leeds City region.  Over the weekend of 11th – 13th October students are invited to enter a hackathon focussing on innovation in health services. It is an opportunity to work in multi-disciplinary teams to come up with novel solutions and prototypes – the prototypes might be tech based, service models or business plans – participants will present to a panel of industry and institutional leaders who will select the winning idea to receive a £1000 prize!   Ideas presented could be anything from an app that links people to others in their community, or a surgical innovation to support front line staff. As long as it is multidisciplinary and tangible and can be presented back in a ten minute slot then its up to teams to bring us their most innovative ideas. People can either join as teams, or as individuals who will then be placed into teams. Mentors will be available throughout the event to support and advise participants. Student teams will have 24/7 access to the Leslie Silver library over the weekend and refreshments, including pizza in true hackathon style!  This will be a high profile event, providing excellent experience and a great coup on your CV, not to mention the opportunity to innovate within and improve health services in the Leeds city region!    Agenda  Friday afternoon begins with scene setting, rules of engagement and introductions from key figures in health and tech across Leeds. Then we eat lots of pizza!  For the rest of Friday and all day Saturday, hackathon teams have free access to the Leslie Silver library to work on their ideas. Mentors will be available throughout this time, either in person or by telephone for advice and support.  On Sunday morning (not too early!) we bring everyone together in Woodhouse Lecture Theatre, where each team gets a maximum of 10 minutes to present their idea  Judges deliberate while some refreshments are enjoyed and then the winner is announced!

This one-day hackathon will join researchers together in small teams to work with socio-ecological data. Facilitated by experienced R programmers and quantitative researchers this day is a great opportunity to learn new analytical skills while working with new people on interesting data driven challenges. The day is being led by the Quantitative Ecology SIG in partnership with the Citizen Science SIG and will see small teams work together on challenges that combine ecological and sociological data. These challenges might seek to answer a research question, design an R-package to access data, or advance a statistical method. There will be a range of challenges to join on the day so you will have the chance to pick one that best suits what you want to learn. Anyone is able to submit an idea for a challenge so if you have an idea you would like to work on please add it to the live document. Throughout the day facilitators will be on hand to answer your questions and support your projects, including how to build R-packages, how to write reproducible code, and how to build shiny apps. At the end of the day teams will have a chance to present their work to the rest of the teams. 09:30 Introduction to the day  09:40 Talk by Anna Krystalli - "Adventures in open code and data" 10:00 Self-sorting into teams 10:20 Hacking 12:30 Lunch 13:00 Hacking 16:00 Presentations 17:00 Awards

What will we be doing and who's it for? This free event is for people who enjoy making new discoveries using data and want to develop and test their data skills. We will work in groups (or individually) to uncover interesting and surprising insights about specific challenges set by the hosts. There will be a choice of datasets for you to pick from on the evening. We will: Familiarise ourselves with the datasets (many of which are exclusively prepared) and identify what questions you want to ask Analyse and interpret the data Share back our findings and see what others have discovered Bring your laptops and chargers as this will be an interactive session!   People of all levels of analytical experience are welcome, you don't need to be a data expert already. We will be running the event using Count (count.co, @counthq), a new data publishing platform which makes it easier and quicker for anyone to explore data online and share their discoveries. It only takes a few minutes to learn, so don't worry if you've not used it before. You will be able to prepare data tables within Count to download for use in other tools, if you prefer.
