Hacks/Hackers London X Count - Data Hackathon 

Hacks/Hackers London

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Hacks/Hackers London X Count - Data Hackathon</H2>
Hacks/Hackers LDN is delighted to be partnering with Count for a special event this October. Come and practise your analytics skills and meet fellow data enthusiasts at this fun, informal hackathon totally free of charge!
Count is a new data publishing platform changing how we interact with data online. The Count team want to put an end to the dry, uninspiring data files that litter our websites and instead turn them into beautiful, engaging content which anyone (whether data enthusiasts or beginners) can explore, share and discuss all in one place.
 
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">What will we be doing and who's it for?</H2>
 
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.
<H2> We will: </H2>

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 (<A HREF="http://count.co" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">count.co</A>, <A HREF="https://twitter.com/counthq" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@counthq</A>), 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.
