hackweek-toolkit's Introduction

A Toolkit for Organizing Hack Weeks

Intrigued by the idea of hack weeks, but don't know how to start? Seems too complicated to organize? This repository is for you! We're building a toolkit to help you get started with organizing your own event.

In this repository, you can find general information, resources and templates for various components.

Contents

[under construction]

  • Website Template
  • Hack Week Organization Checklist
  • Other resources (e.g. the paper)
  • A running list of existing events (add your own!)
  • Facilitation Notes, ideas and activities
  • Tutorial topics and resources
  • Wiki Template
  • template application form questions
  • template Jupyter notebook for Entrofy application procedure

Contribution

Contributions are not only welcome, but highly encouraged!

Hack weeks are still a new concept, and we're learning new things every time. Expect the contents of this repository to change as we learn and evolve. Please consider adding your own resources, ideas and experiences so that we and others can learn from you!

hackweek-toolkit's Issues

Have we acknowledged all of our sources?

I think it might be worthwhile to go through and acknowledge the people and resources from which we learned as much as possible. I want to make especially sure that the work of junior researchers and researchers from underrepresented backgrounds is acknowledged, because too often they are expected to do work without acknowledgment.

Add distributed cognition/mentoring summary to facilitation doc

I want to write a bit of a summary about Cecilia's summary of distributed cognition + mentoring from her book, for incorporation in next year's Astro Hack Week, and because I think it's a useful and positive model of how learning and team work happens (or should happen) at hack weeks.

Add resources page

It might be useful to have a page with external resources: our hack week websites + wikis, a link to the hack week and entrofy papers, links to other resources we've found helpful.

Add survey materials

Although we have been using Qualtrics for this, we should preferably add our survey materials in a text format, and not their proprietary format.

licence?

What should this be licenced under? Will we need different licences for different folders (e.g. if one folder has code, another has text)?
