Hackathon
Join us at the DDLS Hackathon, a vibrant code festival for the SciLifeLab/DDLS community! This hackathon is part of the 2024 DDLS course and participants will collaborate on their projects in the dynamic field of data-driven life science, supported by teaching assistants in a hands-on environment.
Date and Time:
October 9-11, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day.
Who Can Participate?
The hackathon is open to everyone in the DDLS community, including PIs, PhD students, postdocs, facility experts/trainers, and anyone interested in data-driven life science. Participants can work on any topic of their choice.
We will also welcome the participation of the DDLS course participants, who will work on their final projects with their groups.
Event Details:
Hackathon participants will form small groups of 2-3 people on-site or online (determined during the hackathon) to work on projects, exchange ideas, and engage in pair programming. This collaborative environment fosters innovation and provides a unique opportunity to apply concepts to real-world problems.
DDLS course participants will have the opportunity to work on their final projects and interact with other participants.
Benefits of Attending:
- Hands-on experience with a data-driven life science project
- Networking opportunities with experts, researchers, and infrastructure specialists in the field, we will have a mix of participants from different backgrounds
- Social coding, pair programming, and group work
- A chance to showcase your work and receive feedback from the community
