List of hackathons about robotics in 2016

Some World Games, designed by Farzin Farzin, is an immersive installation as part of Closed Worlds, an exhibition curated by Lydia Kallipoliti that presents 41 historical prototypes of closed resource regeneration systems. Visitors will be guided along a continuous loop by custom designed virtual reality headsets suspended from a kinetic track. Through the installation, you will explore the historical content of the exhibition in a virtual visual and aural field. This will be a day-long hackathon utilizing this interface to invite coders, game designers, architects, artists, filmmakers, and others to collaborate and create new worlds. You will be asked to develop tools for virtual exploration and convert kinetic energy into virtual energy to generate both new agencies within systems of display and new engagements with control objects. Basic digital assets will be provided in advance. Teams are free to create any type of content they wish resulting in a single virtual reality experience that will be uploaded to each headset. At the end of the hackathon, each team will have ten minutes to frame and present its work. At the end of the day there will be a quick Q&A session followed by a wine reception!

The Stupid Hackathon is organized purely for fun! Your projects will be purely judged by hilarity, uselessness, and fun factor!

The Athens Chatbot Hackathon is inviting all cities around the world to build applications utilizing chat, messaging, and other natural language interfaces such as voice to interact with people, brands, or services and bots in the conversational commerce space. You could use bots to integrate with other services, post comments remotely or control a smart home, create custom tools providing you with alerts, weather forecasts, translations, or other services upon request, build single- and multiplayer games, build social services, or anything else that is virtually anything else!

Join the IEEE UofT Hardware Hackathon to work to work on interesting new devices, show off your hardware knowledge and strengthen your skills. It will be a fun 24-hour event where you will be divided in teams of two and take on the challenge to create a functional and creative electronic device of your choice! A wide variety of parts including an Arduino Uno will be made available to all participants in order to make powerful devices!

This Qredo Hackathon, wil help ios or Android app developers discover how easy Qredo SDK makes it to get app security right. Bring your own equipment and development tools and be among the first app developers to work with the Qredo open sourced privacy SDK. Win prizes for the best apps developed during the weekend.  The Qredo SDK, documentation, sample code and support of the Qredo dev team will be provided You can compete as an individual or in teams of up to 5 people

The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited (BTC), is inviting you to their 2016 Business/Technology Expo and Hackathon. The theme is Innovators Paradise: Everyday Technology. You can expect to see live demonstrations, take advantage of exclusive product promotions and participate in lively interactive sessions. Compete for a Five Thousand Dollar $5,000.00 cash prize and the opportunity to compete in an international Virtual Hackathon to win $100,000.00 cash and full media exposure!

Hack the Future is an all-day hackathon celebration to show you what it's like to be a hacker and see if it's for you. You won't won't be told what to do. You'll be free to work on whatever you want. A unique opportunity to learn about state of the art software, hardware design and engineering from mentors working for Bay Area startups as well as big companies like Facebook and Microsoft. Learn how to make your own video games, learn to solder electronics, create a webpage, make mods for existing games like Minecraft, create things using a 3D printer, design a new product, and many more!

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is one of the world's largest hackathons on game development. Come and explore the global creative gaming atmosphere, while taking part in the process of development, including programming, iterative design, narrative exploration and artistic expression. Don't worry if you don't know how to program, creative idea makers are also very crucial on the process of game development. Also if you are an experienced game player you can take a stab at testing the design.
