Hackathon 2020+1

UCLCode Clubis a collaborative initiative run by early career researchers aiming to promote good coding practice through peer learning. Our sessions include hands-on tutorials, discussions on a specific topic, peer code reviews, or talks by members or invited speakers.  We are committed to create a diverse, inclusive, and friendly community!Website:https://ihi-code-club.github.io/handbook/

UCL Code Club

Hackathon 2020+1 is a virtual hacking sprint for all health data scientists and coding enthusiasts. Organised by UCL IHI Code Club.

Please email us if you still would like to attend, as there may be space to join on the day.

OverviewHackathon 2020+1 is a virtual and hands-on health data science hacking sprint event organised by UCL Institute of Health Informatics Code Club and sponsored by Researcher-Led Initiative Awards (RLI).The themes of this year&#x27;s Hackathon are meta-research and applied data science, with example topics including, but not limited to:<ul><li>Meta-research: Reproducibility in research, Data diversity, Bias in research</li><li>Applied health data science: Pandemic impact, Global health, e-Health</li></ul>We invite you to join us online for a few days of hacking, where you&#x27;ll be working in teams of 3-5 from diverse backgrounds to work on an output (e.g. an idea, a solution, an app, a visualisation, a computer program - it&#x27;s your choice!) that fits into one of the following project categories:<ol><li>Data story-telling</li><li>Data analysis</li><li>Data &amp; software engineering</li></ol>Best projects will receive prizes - to be revealed soon!For more details, please refer to our <a href="https://github.com/IHI-Code-Club/hackathon-2020/wiki" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GitHub wiki</a>Who we areThe <a href="https://ihi-code-club.github.io/handbook/content/introduction.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">IHI Code Club</a> was established at the UCL Institute of Health Informatics in 2019 and is part of the UCL Code Club. We are a friendly community of students, staff, and research software engineers at UCL who are interested in coding and health research. Code Club aims to promote good coding practice and reproducible research, and we are open to all backgrounds and experiences. Although we anticipate that most Hackathon participants will be researchers at UCL, we look forward to welcoming anyone interested in health research and coding!Once you&#x27;ve registered and got your ticketWe&#x27;ll send you a quick form for you to fill in and tell us about your coding experience and interests. Here, you can also sign-up with your team name (if you have a team already - optional) and suggest a project idea (optional). Based on this, we will sort everyone into diverse teams of 3-5 people (each team should have at least 1 UCL researcher) before the event starts. We hope that this approach enables team members to learn from and share their knowledge from others in a fun way, whilst meeting new people.What to expect<ul><li>Pre-Hackathon event [17.00-19.00]: an introduction from Code Club and team-building (finalise your team, decide on your project, and get to know each other)</li><li>Day 1 [9.00-17.00]: the Hackathon begins!</li><li>Day 2 [9.00-17.00]: the Hackathon ends, all teams present their projects, and prizes are awarded</li></ul>We&#x27;ll send you more details once you&#x27;ve registered.Note: Please register by choosing only one of the three ticket types that best describes you as a UCL academic, a non-UCL academic, or member of the public (General Admission). Each attendee must register for their own ticket, as this helps us track attendance. Thank you.This is an online / virtual event. Photographs, screenshots, and recordings may be taken to document the event, but we&#x27;ll ask everyone&#x27;s permission before doing so. Any personal info asked, e.g. email addresses, may be used to contact you after the event if you have won a prize.This activity is a Researcher-Led Initiative that has been funded by UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme. We&#x27;d like to thank the Researcher Led Initiative at UCL for kindly sponsoring this event and supporting the UCL IHI Code Club since 2020!
