SUMMARY:Datathon
DESCRIPTION:Datathon – The future of the Internet\nHow does it work?\nParticipants will form small groups. Each group will choose a challenge and will be able to use one or more of the datasets made available by the Engineroom project\, including data from Reddit\, Wikipedia and online news.\nStarting from some question according to its interests\, each group will apply the methods of data analysis and visualization it finds more convenient to extract knowledge from the datasets provided or any other available data source. A team of mentors will provide supervision.\nAt the end of the datathon each group will present its results in visual form and the best project will be awarded.\nSnacks and lunch will accompany the event. \nWho can participate?\nAnybody with basic programming skills can participate; expertise in data science or data visualization is a plus. We highly appreciate the presence of participants with social science or economics background\, also with no programming skills\, to create interdisciplinary work groups.\nParticipation is open to individuals\, as well as to already defined groups of 2 to 4 people. \nWhich are the prizes?\nThere will be prizes for all the participants\, including a Raspberry pi for each person.\nEach member of the awarded group will receive as special prize a Smart Citizen Starter Kit\, a toolkit of environmental sensors that measure weather conditions\, noise\, light and air quality. \nWho organizes it?\nThe event is organized by Eurecat\, Centre tecnològic de Catalunya\, together with international partners Nesta (UK) and DeLab (Poland)\, and supported by the Engineroom project.\nThe Engineroom project is part of the Next Generation Internet initiative\, the European Commission’s ambitious new flagship programme which aims to build a more democratic\, inclusive and resilient internet by 2025. As part of this work\, the project is developing a methodology based on cutting-edge data science methods\, which help us identify the latest trends and emerging technologies in the internet space\, as well as analyse the most pressing social issues the net faces today.\nYou can see here some preliminary results of the project. \nHow can I register?\nLimited places are available\, therefore we ask you to confirm your participation by registering to the event.\nFor any question\, feel free to write to david.laniado@eurecat.org or laura.portell@eurecat.org. \nWhich is the schedule?\nFriday\, February 22nd. 18:00 – 20:00 \n\n18:00 – 19:30: Introduction\n19:30 – 20:00: Definition of the teams\n\nSaturday\, February 23rd\, 10:00 – 20:00 \n\n10:00 – 14:00: work in groups\n14:00 – 15:00: lunch (catering)\n15:00 – 18:00: work in groups\n18:30 – 19:30: presentation of the results\n19:30 – 20:00: awards and closing
