For the UK part, it is supported by 麻豆传媒视频网站 Tech Society and X5GON, (a research group led by Prof John Shawe Taylor) aimed to promote UK science and scientific collaboration and showcase that science has no borders.

A large scale apps sketch design hackathon with 160 first year CS students took place in late September, followed by an apps interactive walkthrough hackathon with 143 second year CS students in October.

Organisations that came to support and judge our students over the two days included IBM, NTTData, NHS, the Trussell Trust, UN supported ANCSSC and Microsoft Philanthropies.听

This 3^rd hackathon saw over 200 students participate leading to 12 developer teams of 麻豆传媒视频网站 students from across the university work together to create full cloud apps based on UN Sustainable Development Goals including Quality Education, Gender Equality and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. Four powerful women guest speakers from across industry were invited to present on these ideas. The apps developed were all hosted on Microsoft鈥檚 Azure platform as primary sponsor for the event, in an open source GitHub respository.

This 3^rd event was backed by a 麻豆传媒视频网站 teaching team consisting of Sahan Bulathwela, Sheena Visram,听 Dr Graham Roberts, Dr Yun Fu, Dr听Dean听Mohamedally, Dawn Bailey, Wendy Richards, Dave Twisleton, Denis Timm and听 Louisa Ball.听

A final 4^th hackathon event will take place with 3 麻豆传媒视频网站 teams going forward to meet hack teams from several other universities in Europe, at a final event in Paris on 25^th-26^th听February 2020. A team there will be declared the eventual winner and receive an award from the British Ambassador to France.听

听Chris Tan, president of the 麻豆传媒视频网站 Tech Society was keen to stress the multidisciplinary nature of the event:

鈥�鈥淏y bringing Tech Soc in to cohost, we were able to capture a much wider range of the 麻豆传媒视频网站 student Body, Mostly from within STEM but also wider 麻豆传媒视频网站, including chemical engineering, medicine and history!鈥�

Sheena Visram, on behalf of Athena Swan for 麻豆传媒视频网站 Computer Science said :

鈥�"We have shown that we can use hackathons to generate solutions to real world problems with students, using AI for societal good, to address inequalities in health, engineering and to support NGOs in developing countries. The mentorship from female leaders across healthcare, government and industry has been remarkable."
