SUMMARY:DigiFAB Chemistry Hackathon 2021
DESCRIPTION:\nDo you want to learn more about digital chemistry\, and low-c
 ost and open-source approaches to synthesis and analysis?\n\n\nBlogs\n\nTh
 e DigiFAB Hackathon 2021: our challenge and how we hacked it.\nHack it! Re
 flecting on the 2021 DigiFAB Hackathon.\n\nThe Institute for Digital Molec
 ular Design and Fabrication (DigiFAB) and the Imperial College Advanced Ha
 ckspace (ICAH) invite undergraduate students from the Departments of Chemi
 stry and Chemical Engineering to participate in this chemistry hackathon.\
 n\nThe Hackathon Challenge\n\n\nParticipants will be split into two teams 
 to design and build an automated low-cost  liquid handling platform and t
 urbidimeter\, with the final aim of integrating the two systems to work to
 gether. Existing experience in prototyping is not necessary\, and the Hack
 athon challenge is a great opportunity to get to know others interested in
  this area of research by working together!​\n\n\nThe project will run f
 or 4 weeks from Monday 5 July in the DigiFAB//Hackspace hub in ICAH. Place
 s are limited\, so if you wish to apply\, please send a short paragraph (m
 ax. 100 words) on why you are interested and what you think you would brin
 g to the team to Feng Li\, the DigiFAB Institute Manager (f.li@imperial.ac
 .uk)\, by 5 pm on Monday 31st May.​\n\nThe applications will then be rev
 iewed by the scientific committee (Becky Greenaway\, David Miller\, Klaus 
 Hellgardt\, Ben Egleston\, Annabel Basford\, and Ciaran O’Brien) and app
 licants will be informed of the outcome by Friday 11th June. Participants 
 will then receive further information and the committee will facilitate th
 e formation of the teams who will be able to meet each other before the Ha
 ckathon.\nFAQ\n\n\n\n\nDo I need Hackathon or prototyping experience? Exi
 sting experience in these are not required\, but getting involved would al
 low you to hone your hack skills\, learn new hardware prototyping techniqu
 es using 3D printing\, and build your practical knowledge in electronics a
 nd programming!\n\n\nHow much time will I need to work on the Hackathon?We
  expect the project to run for 4-6 weeks\, the exact amount time can be de
 cided within the team and adjusted as the project progresses. We estimate 
 you are likely to need 3-4 days a week initially.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill the te
 ams have support during the Hackathon?Yes\, the committee and ICAH staff w
 ill provide remote and hands on support.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I join the H
 ackathon remotely? No\, you will need to attend in the White City campus\
 , although some days you may wish to research remotely as agreed within th
 e team.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I nominate my team members or apply as a pre-form
 ed team?You can indicate these in your application but all members will ne
 ed to apply separately. However\, the committee will form the teams based 
 on the applications\, and unfortunately your nominations or pre-formed tea
 ms are not guaranteed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I choose the project?If you ha
 ve a preference please do indicate it in your application\, although the c
 ommittee cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to work on their pref
 erred project when the teams are assembled.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo I need to pay 
 for consumables/kit?No\, the organising committee will cover the costs of 
 the required kit and consumables for the Hackathon – you just need to br
 ing your creative ideas to hack a solution.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo I need to prod
 uce a report after the Hackathon?Yes\, we expect a brief report produced f
 rom each team after the Hackathon.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill I receive payment
  or be reimbursed for my expenses? Yes we will offer the standard college 
 UROP payment at £311.85 per week.\n\n\n\n\n\n
