[Chicago] Fwd: Digital Manufacturing Commons Hackathon, July 15-17

[sheila miguez]

Hi all,

PS1 received this email about an upcoming hackathon at the UI LABS
Innovation Center. I checked with the poster and got permission to share
this here as well. They are looking for people who will help by giving
presentations on using python for data science, and using data APIs.

I am reaching out on behalf of the Digital Manufacturing and Design
Innovation Institute (DMDII), which will host its first-ever Hackathon next
month at the UI LABS Innovation Center on Chicago’s Goose Island. We’d love
your support as a subject matter expert.



On July 15-17, participating teams will use six months of machine tool data
to hack out an app for the Digital Manufacturing Commons (DMC) related to
real-world manufacturing floor issues. The challenge is to exploit this
data in a meaningful way, such as predicting part failure or proposing
energy-optimization schemes.



The event is hosted by DMC—an online platform for manufacturing
collaboration—and DMDII, a world-class, first-of-its-kind manufacturing hub
and part of the UI LABS portfolio.



For full details of the Hackathon, please see the attached flyer, also
available

*How You Can Help*

Currently, the Hackathon team is seeking subject matter experts.
Specifically, we are looking for presenters for the following topics:

•             Data Analytics (Tableau, General Statistical Procedures, etc.)

•             Python for Data Science (Data Mining, Manipulation, Analysis)

•             Using API’s on Data



If you’re interested, please email me back at josh.lustig at uilabs.org. We
ask that prospective subject matter experts be available during Friday
evening (15th) and/or Saturday morning (16th) of the Hackathon. If you’re
unable to support this event, but think you’d be interested in partnering
with us on a future Hackathon, let us know that as well!



Thank you in advance for your support!
