Museum Hackathon: digging into museum data sets This digital humanities hackathon is focused on visualising museum data and making it accessible. This joint event brings together students and practitioners from the Media Centre and the Chair of Didactics of Computer Sciences of the TU Dresden (Germany), the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and several museums and heritage institutions in London and Dresden. This hackathon is kindly hosted by the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies.  In several small, international groups the participants will develop useful, usable and good-looking software projects which have a potential for further development. These software projects will look at using existing data sets and making them accessible to the public or museum staff. We are also open to other innovative approaches to making use of the data sets.  If you are interested in certain topics or specific data sets, please let us know beforehand (email lucy.stagg@ucl.ac.uk)  so we can do our best to facilitate that. We also welcome proposals to utilise certain hardware (e.g., for VR applications). If you’d like to bring along hardware requiring special arrangements, please talk to us beforehand.
