Civic #Hackathons bring together administration, professionals and users to develop innovative solutions in a short time. Yet how effective these formats are depends crucially on how the teams are formed. How can #diversity be promoted with technical support? Our work funded by #Innosuisse and implemented in #Dribdat is featured in a (German language) edition of the BFH Social Work magazine #KnotenMaschen https://www.bfh.ch/soziale-arbeit/de/aktuell/blog-knoten-maschen/artikel/vielfalt-als-ressource-koennen-algorithmen-bessere-teams-bilden/

Wir veranstalten zwei Mal im Jahr den #SaarHackathon unter dem Motto "Machen statt meckern!"

Ziel des #Hackathons ist es, innerhalb eines Wochenendes Apps und Softwareprojekte zu konzipieren und umzusetzen, die konkrete Probleme lösen. Keine kommerziellen Interessen sondern der Spaß am Problemlösen und hacken stehen im Vordergrund. Wenn das Projekt den Anspruch hat, die Welt ein kleines Stückchen besser zu machen, ist es hier am richtigen Ort.

Day 15 of PETALS advent 🎄
Hackathon time means:

– quick team forming
– messy ideas
– zero time for perfection

So how do you actually get aligned before you divide and conquer?

#Hackathons with judges and winners is doing it wrong.

Most of them are doing it wrong.

Do a prototype forum and let your peers nerd out about your hack. That recognition is already worth it. Reward everyone for participation.

🌍✨ #nextGEMS is coming to an end – but our journey has only just begun.

After four incredible years, the Horizon 2020 Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems project is wrapping up. Together, we set out to make kilometre-scale global #ClimateSimulations a reality — and we did it.

💡 None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary community:

▪️ Scientists from across the globe, pushing the boundaries of climate #modelling.
▪️ Industry and policy stakeholders, helping us connect our science to real-world needs.
▪️ Our organisational team, keeping everything on track.
▪️ LATEST THINKING (lt.org) and all the talented #ScienceCommunicators and visual creators who helped share our story.

From Hamburg to Madrid, our #hackathons became so much more than coding sessions — they were spaces to #collaborate, to socialise, to co-create, and to inspire each other.

We are deeply grateful for the friendships made, the knowledge shared, and the breakthroughs achieved. And we’re excited to watch, in the years ahead, how nextGEMS will continue to shape #ClimateScience, #adaptation planning, and the digital twins of the future.

💪 Let’s keep building on this momentum. Let’s keep working together — across disciplines, sectors, and borders — to tackle the challenges of our changing climate.

Apparently, working at Vercel is all about scaling headcounts, throwing #buzzwords, and attending #hackathons 📈🎉. Remember folks, always respond to work tweets during your honeymoon 🌴💍—because nothing says "work-life balance" like mixing beachside bliss with corporate hustle! 😂

My favorite place to post about #hackathons with a charitable or "for good" focus, #hacks4good, #apps4good, community tech centers, #ICT4D, ethics regarding such, & all things #Tech4Good went away.
So I started the r/Tech4Causes subreddit.

If you feel that's something's wrong with it, you may check the "Half-Ass Episode" by #srslywrong.

"Doing a half-assed job of anything is widely disparaged in our society, but why is that? Who decided these ass requirements? Are these reasonable ass expectations? How much ass does each of us truly have to give?"

MinnPost: University of Minnesota hackathon reveals AI’s possibilities — and potential pitfalls — for resource-starved news outlets. “Roughly 50 people across 11 projects rushed to prototype AI-based journalism tools in just two days.

#Hackathons in 2024. Why?

I remember when we'd take a day, set a goal, start coding, demo our stuff in late afternoon. The goal was to learn.

Now, people spend weeks preparing in advance. They don't start from scratch — they start with a framework. The goal is to impress.

Two upcoming @ripencc #hackathons are waiting for you!

* Green Tech: 10-11 December, Amsterdam (& Local Hubs in Dublin & Heraklion & Ljubljana & Belgrade) + online

* DNS Hackathon: 15-16. March 2025, Stockholm
