Data for learning hackathon kick-off events

Hackathon – Your help to get more value out of data

Everyone uses data, and it is certainly fundamental at TU Delft for teaching, studying and research. As a lecturer, researcher, or educational advisor, you have a lot to say about it, so join our hackathon 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. 
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 da-ta. This could be of particular interest to educators looking to shape the way data is used now and in the future. 

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 Teach-ing 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).
