IBM Db2 Masterclass and Hackathon

Part One: The Masterclass 

The Masterclass is a 12-video, 3-section, 1-hour micro-course featuring IBM Db2 solutions for applications utilizing machine learning, web applications and blockchain. In this video series, IBM instructor, Vin Agrawal, teaches students in focused video bites need-to-know information for on-boarding and context, then introduces some applied demos for further comprehension. It is entirely free and is meant to be done while simultaneously putting the courses to practice - coding through a lite account provided for free by IBM. The content is targeted at developers new to the community and is perfect for those familiar with Python and/or Node.js. Existing IDUG or Db2 users are always welcome to participate, as some of the techniques shared may be new to them as well, such as the blockchain course.

Part Two: The Hackathon

Students will be invited to an online "science fair" style hackathon competition happening October 11th-13th, where participants create use case projects (or migrate real-world use cases they are familiar with to Db2) and showcase them on a project page through the hackathon platform, open to members on October 6th. The prize pool total is $15,000, and the winners will be announced at the IDUG 2019 EMEA Conference in Rotterdam on October 22nd. Participants can publish projects alone, as teams, or with their startups.
