DementiaHack

By
DementiaHack is a 30-hour hackathon that is geared towards creating hardware and software solutions to improve the lives of those living with dementia and their caregivers. 

 The last DementiaHack was held at George Brown College in November 2015 and was a phenomenal success – resulting in over 500 attendees, 70+ completed products/demos and 8 winners. More information on DementiaHack 2015 can be found at: http://hackernest.com/dementiahack-toronto-2015/ and https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBNVnoQjIibawqCzh7ISu1CQh-5D2YF7d.

For DementiaHack, we set out four ‘challenge sets’, or beneficiary groups, that participants can build prototypes for:
1. Diagnosed individuals
2. Family caregivers
3. Institutional caregivers/clinicians
4. Researchers/scientists 

DementiaHack welcomes participants of all professional/educational backgrounds and of varying skill levels, including beginners and students. I'd be interested in speaking with you regarding how we can work together to get your students involved with this fun and meaningful event where they can apply their knowledge and learn new skills.

GSA SPARK 2020

By Jessica
  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
