About the hackathon
The hackathon is organized within the framework of FuturICT 2.0 project (Large-scale experiments and simulations for the second generation of FuturICT). It is an international European Project, FLAG-ERA Joint Transnational Call (JTC) 2016. It started in February 2017 and will have a duration of three years.
Thematic Challenges
To be updated according to project priorities and the needs of hackathon participants:
- Educational Data Acquisition
- Educational Data Analytics
- Educational Data Visualization
- Mobile Microlearning
- Learning Process Control Automation Technique
- Machine Learning for Education
Expected results
At the end of the event, we expect participants to pitch a research-based prototype for original, innovative web-based, mobile or standalone application bringing value in educational data analysis and visualization.
Following evaluation criteria will be used by jury:
- Scientific value. How significant is the problem that the solution is trying to solve?
- Impact to society, usefulness;
- Business viability in context in data value chain, knowledge value chain.
- Originality & Innovation;
- Technical implementation;
- Solution development stage;
- Presentation quality.
Participants
We expect participation of master students, doctoral students and researchers from the fields of technology-enhanced learning, e-ecosystems and related research domains. We encourage cross-disciplinary teams, including, software developers, UI/UX experts, data scientists and mathematicians, data analysts, education experts and similar. We expect around 35 participants split into teams of maximum 5 people. Priority will be given to doctoral students. We expect participants to bring their computers and other relevant devices for solution development and showcasing.
Participation is free of charge, but participants must cover all travel expenses.
Prior registration is mandatory by January 7, 2019.
Participation will be confirmed until 8th of January, 2019.
