Re: [DIYbio] Bio-Design Automation hackathon BDAthlon IWBDA 2021

Is it possible to join this BDAathlon without paying for the conference?

Subject: [BDAC-Info] BDAthlon 2020 - A year-long Bio-Design Automation hackathon
 
We are excited to announce that this year, the Bio-Design Automation Consortium<https://www.bio-design-automation.org/> and the NONA Research foundation<https://www.nonasoftware.org/> will be hosting a year-long Bio-Design Automation hackathon - the BDAthlon! This year's BDAthlon is a special programming contest in which teams work to solve specific computational problems identified by members of the synthetic biology. To facilitate this, we will be kicking off the BDAthlon with a Special session at IWBDA 2020 <https://www.iwbdaconf.org/2020/> where participants can brainstorm ideas for projects!

IWBDA 2020 Special Session

We believe that no idea is too big or too small for the BDAthlon! At IWBDA 2020, we'd like to invite the participants to come together and identify open computational problems in the field of synthetic biology and bio-design automation. There will be a 1 hour 45 minute breakout session on Tuesday 4th August 2020, where IWBDA participants can join one of the following 5 tracks:

  1.  Design - Build - Test - Learn Pipelines
  2.  Lab Automation
  3.  Microfluidics
  4.  Circuits & Models
  5.  Open track
The goal of the breakout session is to come up with project ideas for tools, scripts, APIs, frameworks, software that could be potentially useful for the community. Participants of the Special session will get a chance to present their ideas in a 1 hour guided session on Wednesday 5th August 2020. These project ideas will be maintained by Nona in Nona's Github organization<https://github.com/NonaSoftware>.

BDAthlon 2020

The BDAthlon is a great opportunity for the synthetic biology and the open-source community to come together and work on the computational projects identified at IWBDA 2020. There are no restrictions for size of teams, number of participants, or number of projects a participant can work on.

The Nona foundation plans on organizing regular summits throughout the year where participants can:

  1.  Allocate a few focussed days where they can work on their BDAthlon projects.
  2.  Present their progress and reach out to the community if they require any additional resources.

The BDAthlon will end next year at the start of IWBDA 2021, where we would like to encourage participants to submit their progress and milestones as featured abstracts which would be published in the proceedings of IWBDA. The winners of the BDAthlon will be announced at the end of IWBDA 2021.
