HBCU Students Make Moves with NASA Tech

In September 2023, students at HBCUs participated in a hackathon at the National HBCU Week Conference, where they used NASA’s technologies to create solutions to problems that affect Black communities. The winning team, Team Airtek, proposed a nano-sensor array for medical diagnoses that would give students on HBCU campuses a non-invasive, non-intensive way to test themselves for precursors for diseases and illnesses like diabetes and COVID.

The hackathon they participated in is a modified version of the full NASA Minority University Research and Education Project Innovation and Tech Transfer Idea Competition (MITTIC) that takes place each fall and spring semester at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

No matter what you’re studying, you can join the MITTIC competition and come up with new and innovative tech to help your community and the world.

MITTIC could be the beginning of your career pathway: Teams can go on exclusive NASA tours and network with industry experts. Show off your entrepreneurial skills and your team could earn money—and bragging rights.

Don’t wait too long to apply or to share with someone who should apply! The deadline for proposals is Oct. 16, 2023. Apply here: https://microgravityuniversity.jsc.nasa.gov/nasamittic.

[hackathon: 3 days left]

the last time I made a post about the hackathon, I was pretty much feeling like shit but literally after having a breakdown, I finally calmed myself down and i am really coding the shit out of this project. I am not close to the final destination but I know everything I need to do and am working to perfect it. i really have to win this (tbh, i think I will win)

my WaffleHacks 2023 submission

This was my first hackathon! A bit late in the game as a 4th year, I was always too intimidated by the idea of trying to write an entire project in a day and then have it judged and compared to other projects that are probably leagues better than mine. But a waffle themed hackathon was much less intimidating.

My project is Packmate. It's supposed to help you decide how many of X item to bring, somewhat inspired by those posts/memes that are like "I'm bringing 12 pairs of underwear on my 2 day weekend trip, y'know, in case i shit myself 10 times"

As you can probably tell, it's not finished😭 I actually decided to join this hackathon super last minute, and still I didn't even start until yesterday afternoon (submission was today at noon), so I didn't work on it for as long as I would've liked to.

I am a bit upset that I didn't get to implement my full concept for the project (I actually wanted to use an Accuweather API to have it check the weather and select different types of clothes you need during your trip but that was not happening in this timeframe lol), but in the end I'm happy for the experience.

Rather than aiming for any prizes or ranking, I ended up just using this project to focus on practicing html/css design, which is what I want to improve in. This was also really good practice in project timeline estimation, feature prioritization etc. I was able to whittle down my feature wishlist and focus on what I know was realistic for me in my timeline.

I was honestly unsure if I would even have *enough* project to be worth submitting. There were so many points yesterday where I was like "This is hard. This isn't school, I could quit right now with zero repercussions" lol. But in the end, I'm proud (and ngl a little surprised at myself) to have submitted anything at all, let alone a somewhat finished demo of something I had only conceptualized hours before.

So thanks Wafflehacks for being waffle themed. This is hopefully my first of many!

ENFJ: one person is carrying this hackathon team. He has experience on every single aspect of this project and we are all babies.

INTJ: you get experience from fucking up too.

ENFJ: ….i don’t like that you’re correct.

Retrospectiva del #HackAccesibilidad

El pasado 28 de octubre se celebró en las oficinas de Liferay  #HackAccesiblidad, un Hackathon sobre accesibilidad web que trataba de dar solución al reto: “crear un minijuego tipo aventura escape room virtual, con un escenario del que hay que lograr salir resolviendo puzzles más o menos sencillos.”

Las reglas que el juego tenía que seguir eran las siguientes:

La tecnología será HTML+CSS+JS. Se podrá usar algún framework de front tipo Angular, React o Vue, pero nunca un framework de desarrollo de juegos. Lo importante no es el juego en sí, aunque también, pero sobre todo que sea accesible.

En el escenario habrá diversos objetos con los que el jugador puede interactuar de distintas formas. Una de las primeras cosas que deberán hacer es pensar en un método accesible de recorrer el escenario para descubrir e interactuar con los objetos.

Las acciones obligatorias deberían ser al menos: mirar y usar; esta última acción debería permitir usar un objeto con otro.

Todos los objetos deben de tener una respuesta para cada acción, aún cuando ese objeto no se pueda usar.

Ni que decir tiene que el reto es sobre accesibilidad, evidentemente también se valorarán otras cosas, como la jugabilidad, la historia, la dificultad, pero es preferible gráficos “cutres” y juego accesible antes que unos gráficos del copón y un juego inaccesible.

Como ayuda a los participantes se desarrollo un ejemplo de juego no accesible https://github.com/angelisco1/prueba-hackaccesibilidad

El hackathon se compuso de dos jornadas:

25 de octubre.-

Con carácter previo a la celebración de hackathon y, para que los participantes tuvieran unas nociones básicas sobre accesibilidad y las pudieran utilizar en su desarrollo, Ramón Corominas (Twitter: @tinitun) impartió un taller presencial y online sobre nociones básicas para la creación de interfaces accesibles, que podéis ver en el enlace:  https://www.youtube.com/live/HhdUlP15NM4?si=VqUvnofsjtgGO71p

Taller de cerca de 2 horas de duración, donde se explicaron aspectos tan interesantes como las 5 reglas de ARIA para ayudar a decidir cómo hacer que los elementos sean accesibles:

(1) No  uses ARIA, (2) No cambies la semántica nativa, (3) Siempre admitir la navegación con teclado, (4) No ocultes los elementos enfocables, (5) Usar nombres accesibles para los elementos interactivos.

A partir de este momento los participantes podían empezar a desarrollar sus juegos con las reglas propuestas, o bien mejorar el código del ejemplo/juego propuesto.

27 de octubre.-

A las 9:30 empezó la recepción de los participantes en las oficinas de Liferay Durante cerca de tres horas terminaron de desarrollar sus juegos.

A las 12:30 se inició la presentación de los mismos. En concreto fueron tres juegos:

Juego de recolección de monedas en el que había que llegar al final a tiempo y recolectar las monedas que se encontraran en el camino. Desarrollado por Alicia (Buzkall).

Bienvenido al Museo Liferay, donde había una misión: robar el diamante negro Orlov. Desarrollado por Bárbara Cabrera Castro y Victor Galán Grande.

Bienvenido a Escape Bros!, Desarrollado por Valpa Bros (Rubén y Javier Valseca).

Después de la exposición se pasó a deliberar los juegos, teniendo en cuenta aspectos como: nivel de accesibilidad, originalidad de la historia, la jugabilidad, el grado de finalización del proyecto y su dificultad técnica.

Nuestro jurado estaba formado por:

Ramón Corominas: apasionado de la accesibilidad, así como consultor freelance, formador y asesor a todo tipo de empresas e instituciones.

Marcos Castro Vallejo: diseñador de producto / UX y desarrollador frontend, formado en accesibilidad por la ONCE hace casi 15 años.  En los últimos años ha estado centrado en el gran reto que supone convertir Liferay DXP en un producto accesible.

El orden de los ganadores fue: 

Primer premio: Bienvenido a Escape Bros

Segundo premio: Bienvenido al Museo Liferay

Tercer premio: Juego de recolección de monedas

Todos los participantes se llevaron 200 € de descuento en la compra de cualquier producto de Slimbook salvo los minipcs ZERO y los portátiles Essential, un Hosting Uno de Cyberneticos durante un año, y LViS Lite gratis durante 3 meses.

Para el ganador un Dominio y servidor VPS Básico de Cyberneticos durante un año.

Dar las gracias a Liferay por prestarnos sus instalaciones y colaborar con nosotros, así como a su equipo que nos apoyo durante las jornadas: Álex Arjomandi, Sergio Jiménez, Jesús Domínguez, Luis Díaz Royuela y Elena Bodas. 

Dar las gracias a nuestros sponsors: Slimbook, Cyberneticos, Murena, y LVIS.

Tenéis todas las fotos que hicimos en Flickr.

Hackathon ended in disaster...the story is fucking crazy but let's just say I completely embarrassed myself smh.

🤦‍♀️

#hackathon #social anxiety #fml i guess #anyway lmao

[kertikavics]

Már megint sikeresen egy adag új grad meghackelt valamit ami szerintük jó, csak éppen azt nem kérdezték meg róla akinek dolgoznia kellene vele (én és senki más). De mivel két induló volt a kategóriájukban remélem megnyerték a fejenkénti £50 amazon utalványt.

Aztán mikor jönnek hogy csináljam meg akkor az lesz, hogy:

Egészen addig amíg a főnököm nem közli hogy márpedig muszáj amikor is sírva átkozom életem összes olyan döntését ami ehhez a melohoz vezetett.

[hackathon: the end]

The hackathon ended on Tuesday, and I am sincerely grateful for the experience. I learned so much about Web Accessibility and I will be specializing. I didn't finish before the deadline because I suck at time estimation and I lost my progress a few hours before submission because I CTRL + Z way too much and couldn't move forward anymore plus I was really tired. I thought it was going to be easy peasy but I only doubled my effort two days before the deadline and that cost my sleep I experienced something similar to a brain fog. I really hate competitions but this was different and I was optimistic about it and I think I do not hate competitions so much anymore.

Above is how long I spent coding, I think I shocked myself, I didn't know I had that in me. It was frustrating but I was determined to solve it and yeah, this was definitely the moment I knew I could do this because I really could and I am, maybe in the future I will take a more healthier approach than the restless method I used here.

Our Current 2018 Hackathon Projects ...

Post #63: Ed Price, Our Current 2018 Hackathon Projects, 2022.

Der Ausdruck Hackathon setzt sich aus den Begriffen „Hacken“ und „Marathon“ zusammen. Dabei steht Hacken nicht etwa für Cyberkriminalität. Vielmehr sind Hacker Tüftler und kreative Köpfe, die in kurzer Zeit innovative Lösungen oder eben “Hacks” bzw. funktionsfähige Prototypen bauen. (siehe: www.digitaleneuordnung.de)

The term hackathon is made up of the terms "hacking" and "marathon". Hacking does not stand for cybercrime. Rather, hackers are inventors and creative minds who build innovative solutions or “hacks” or functional prototypes in a short time. (see: www.digitaleneuordnung.de)
