HACKATHONS 2018
NeuroTechMTL Hacknight
Par: NeuroTechX
Come hang out with the NeuroTechMTL community Interface at StartupFest for a 24h sprint of hacking and learn how to build your own Brain-Computer Interface ! Neurotechnology, Biosensors, Virtual Reality and much more on the menu. From serious projects to silly ones, no one will judge your idea! You’ve seen the new Elon Musk endeavour, Neuralink or Bryan Johnson, Kernel? Yeah, well… We’re not gonna work on that, but we’ll sure talk about it!
Come hack with us!
MonBUG summer hackathon
Par: Montreal Bioinformatics User Group
Molecular biology is faced with an avalanche of data.
Few researchers have the skill sets to handle the data, and there is a paucity of commercial software programs to handle the data. During the hackathon, you will be given one dataset on which to apply machine learning techniques. No prior knowledge of machine learning or molecular biology is required. The winners get bragging rights, a MonBUG (Montreal Bioinformatics User Group) t-shirt, and an opportunity to advance scientific knowledge. This year, exceptionally, our sponsor, Streamline Genomics will also be providing a prize. A pass to Startup Fest will be drawn on June 15th amongst the participants that have already registered for the Hackathon..
Finnovation
Par: FormFintech
The FormFintech Hackathon is where teams take research from Montreal’s best universities, and transform this bleeding-edge research into commercial products in just 24 hours! This city is home to amazing research and development, and this process is a core activity in leading innovation. It will be up to our participants to take this to the research to the next level by gathering all the best findings from the endless flow of Fintech research in order to build a research-based startup!
24-hour Bio-Build
Par: Bricobio
Imagine if you can hear, smell, touch and see the microscopic (or nanoscopic) world. During our 24-hour Bio-Build hackathon, we’ll hack with motility of bacteria, algae and other micro-organisms to do just that! We’ll be working on setting up microscopy systems of which we can collect images for making interactive installations. We’ll be designing and testing microfluidic labyrinths through which fungi will move, and we’ll work on visualising cell growth in a comprehensible and appreciable way through data visualisation and artistic interpretations. Due to the biological matter of our hackathon, some of these projects will be started up in advance so be sure to connect with us before!
Axel
By: Centre AXEL
The Centre AXEL, affiliated to the Centre de recherche de l’institut universitaire en santé mental de Montréal (CRIUSMM) is an ecosystem that build bridges between technology and mental health by bringing together researchers, clinicians, academic and tech companies. Our goal is to support the development and the integration of new technologies that increase care provisions and to facilitate the access to the population of non-pharmaceutical solutions for mental health issues.
BCF
#LegalTech: BCF was created a little over 20 years ago with the overarching goal of furthering entrepreneurship in Quebec. With the launch of Imagine, an exclusive program for innovative startups, we’re looking for the best solutions allowing them to focus on what matters. Come hack with us and design a gamified tool for startups to help them understand their legal needs. Furthermore, that interface would also allow us to measure different KPIs and help track the impact legal services have on their growth potential.
Améliorer l’App Axiona avec PrideHacks pendant Hackerfest
PrideHacks le plus gros hackathon LGBTQ propulsé par Queer Tech MTL, vous invite à collaborer avec Axiona pendant le Hackerfest.
Nous voulons bâtir une équipe avec des personnes qui ont une expérience en rédaction, design graphique, et développement du logiciel (frontend et/ou backend). Les technologies utilisées sont Angular 6 pour le frontend et ExpressJS ainsi que Node.js liés à une base données sur le nuage basée sur MongoDB.
Axiona vous offre la chance unique de supporter le développement d’une application de gestion de projets ainsi que des cas pour les OBNL dans la communauté LGBT.
Pendant Hackerfest, si vous acceptez cette mission, vous allez rehausser le planificateur d’événements, intégrerez une vue de calendrier au tableau de bord et implémentez une stratégie pour les notifications. Vous développerez ainsi le système d’inscription aux événements.
Nous avons hâte de faire équipe avec Axiona et réunir des personnes motivées! Soyez partie de notre histoire et supportez notre communauté.
