De meningen ge-uit door medewerkers en studenten van de TU Delft en de commentaren die zijn gegeven reflecteren niet perse de mening(en) van de TU Delft. De TU Delft is dan ook niet verantwoordelijk voor de inhoud van hetgeen op de TU Delft weblogs zichtbaar is. Wel vindt de TU Delft het belangrijk - en ook waarde toevoegend - dat medewerkers en studenten op deze, door de TU Delft gefaciliteerde, omgeving hun mening kunnen geven.

Data hackathon kick-off events

Data Hackathon – Join for a chance to win €500!


Everyone uses data, and it is certainly fundamental at TU Delft for teaching, studying and research. Whether or not you are a coder – and regardless of your experience – join our hackathon activities on the broad theme of ‘data for learning’. Everyone is welcome!

The ‘100 DAYS OF…’ group is running a series of hackathon events in December and January to get
insights, reflections and ideas from all perspectives, from students, lecturers, researchers and support staff – and technical knowledge and experience is not required.

There are two hackathons you can take part in based on your interest:

  1. Building with Data: you (or a group) develop something from existing anonymised educational data that we will provide. This might be a visualisation, a small application, or some insights or re-flections on ethical, privacy or any other relevant issues, related to the ‘data for learning’ theme. As a student, this is probably the one you may want to pitch in!
  2. Educational Data Project: you (or a group) devise and pitch an idea or project, which may later be developed; for example, you could think about a new platform or novel uses for currently available data.

For a more detailed explanation of the hackathons, watch this video.

Two kick-off dates
Join one – or both – of the relevant kick-off events, where you can work in a group or individually, and we hope that whichever event you come to, you might meet others you could potentially work together with.

  1. Join the Building with Data on 30 November at 12:00-14:00 at the Teaching Lab to get information on the anonymised dataset that we will provide, how it is structured, and about the kind of insights we might wish to gain. There will be plenty of time for questions, too. To register (as an individual or group), complete this form (deadline: 25 November).
  2. Or come to the Educational Data Project on Wednesday 18 January at 14:00-16:00 at the Teaching Lab to get information about the hackathon: requirements will be fully explained and there will be plen-ty of time for questions. To register (as an individual or group), complete this form (deadline: 13 January).

Prize giving
Both hackathons will conclude with an event on Thursday 19 January at 12:30-15:30 at the Teaching Lab where you and the other individuals/groups will present their data visualization, project pitches and ideas – and could be selected to receive a prize of up to €500!

Although all events are hosted on campus, there will be options to join online; for details of this, please visit the 100 DAYS OF Data for Learning website.
