Leicester Space Apps Challenge Hackaton
Sun, 14 Apr 2013
This weekend (Friday 19th - Sunday 21st April 2013) Leicester will be holding an event as part of NASA's International Space Apps Challenge programme. It takes the form of a 'hack-a-thon' in which people are invited to meet on on Friday evening and come up with ideas for how they can solve problems provided by NASA. The main event then happens on the Saturday and Sunday at the LCB Depot in Leicester where people work to implement some of their ideas. The hope is that is will be the first in a regular series of hackathon style events in Leicester - perhaps happening monthly.
As part of the event, on the Saturday I will be demonstrating my Raspberry Pi projects, including the Etch-a-Pi with the hope that Raspberry Pi development will be a part of future events.
If you want to get involved with the challenge then visit the project website at http://www.spaceappsleicester.org. Participation is free. If you can't make the whole event then you are welcome to pop over just for a part of it. My talk will be on Saturday 20th at 12:30pm.
