Hackday Niederrhein
‘Hey, we can do that with data!’
‘Hey, we can do that with data!’ is the motto of this year’s second annual Hackday Niederrhein in Moers from 9-10 April 2016. Hackday Niederrhein, which focuses largely on open source programming and data, is a chance for residents, pupils and hobby programmers to meet with programming professors and students from Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, as well as with other programming experts from around the region.
Kleve/Kamp-Lintfort, 21 March 2016: The co-organisers of Hackday Niederrhein, the city of Moers and the Bertelsmann Foundation, want to introduce visitors and participants to the concept of freely available information – open source data – and show them how they can incorporate this data into programming projects. One possible project would be a real-time parking system that uses open source data to direct drivers to open parking spaces. The possible applications of open source data are almost limitless.
A particularly exciting part of Hackday Niederrhein is the workshop “Rocket Girls – Build your First Open Data Application”. The target group for this workshop is women and girls (in upper secondary), who are interested in learning about programming.
