Impact AI - Hackathon
An invitation to partner for PyData Chapters
PyData Global Impact Scholarship group (Impact Hackathon Committee), under the NumFOCUS umbrella, plans to organize an online, AI-focused hackathon in the Winter this year. The Hackathon will be open to anyone who registers and forms a team of at least three members. There will be a two-week period prior to the Hackathon for the teams to form. The event will start on Friday and will be closed on Saturday.
We encourage PyData chapters to team up with our global, online initiative by organizing a partnering offline edition of the Hackathon. You can think of this partnership as a reverse hybrid event - the main event will be organized online and the partnering events will be organized offline, in different locations worldwide.
The local, in-person events participants will compete in the global, online NumHack edition.
Similarly to meetups, PyData and NumFOCUS, together with the Impact Hackathon Committee, will support you in providing a format, marketing, and others listed below. At the same time, securing the venue, catering, and other on-site logistics will be on you and your chapter.
By partnering with the Impact AI Hackathon, your chapter has a great opportunity to participate in a global, diverse, and multicultural event.
Partnering PyData chapters will get the following support from
NumFOCUS & NumHack Committee:
Marketing and promotion - including the registration process
Format guideline
Planning support
Code of Conduct workshop
NumFOCUS legal representation (e.g., invoices, rent agreement)
Prizes

Your PyData Chapter will cover:
