HackUMBC hackathon, Saturday-Sunday 7-8 October 2017

HackUMBC hackathon, Saturday-Sunday 7-8 October 2017

HackUMBC is a 24-hour tech innovation marathon where students across the East Coast collaborate on new ideas to build mobile, web and hardware projects. HackUMBC invites diverse groups of students, undergraduate, graduate and high school students over 18, to enjoy a weekend of hacking, workshops, tech talks, networking, and other fun activities. At the end of 24 hours, projects are presented and judged for different prize categories from sponsors and other organizations.

What if I don’t have a team or an idea?: No problem! You can find a team once you arrive. Most hackers arrive without a team. You will often find inspiration for ideas at the hackathon.

What if I don’t code?: This is the perfect opportunity to learn something new! There will be workshops geared towards beginners and mentors to help you throughout the event.

What can I build?: Anything! Web, mobile, desktop, and hardware projects are all welcome. Projects will be judged based on creativity, technical difficulty, polish, and usefulness.

Will there be hardware? HackUMBC has partnered with MLH to provide hardware hacking resources to all hackers. Check out the full list of hardware.

How much does it cost? HackUMBC is free! Food, beverages, swag, workspaces, and sleeping areas will be provided. You just have to travel to the event and we will take care of the rest!

The event starts in Meyerhoff 030 at 10:00am on Saturday, October 7 and ends at 3:30pm on Sunday, October 8. Visit the HackUMBC site for complete details and to register.

Hello Students and Faculty,

For those of you who missed us at Involvement Fest, Meditation at UMBC invites you to join us for meditation on Thursdays from 1pm - 2pm in Commons room 327, and Fridays from 12pm  - 1pm in UC room 115! 

Update: We now have meditation from 1pm-2pm in commons 327 on Tuesdays!

 

We meditate to become more mindful in our daily lives. Whether you're a student with a heavy course load who would like to find some peace of mind or a faculty member who seeks solitude outside of your work hours, Meditation at UMBC welcomes everyone. While our practice is considered a spiritual pursuit, we are not a religious organization. Our members and officers represent a variety of backgrounds, and we hope to provide time and support for those who seek to practice meditation.


Why meditate? Meditation helps us...

·        Deal with anxiety

·        Improve concentration

·        Reflect on our relationships

·        Attain inner peace

·        Better our physical health

·        Better our mental health

 

·        Relieve stress

·        Gain direction and understanding in life

·        Be more mindful

·        Improve memory

*It is important to note that these benefits come with regular practice. At the very least, once a week over the course of many months, will bring about some of these positive effects in your life. With daily practice, you will see most of the above benefits become your reality.*

 

Why meditate in a group?

 

Group meditation helps us maintain regular practice. Knowing that there's someone there to meditate with you at a set time will assist in your commitment to meditation.

 

Please contact lambert7@umbc.edu if you have any questions regarding our group.

 

I wish you all peace and tranquility throughout the semester!

 

Alyssa Lambert

President of Meditation at UMBC

From: Margaret Hart <mhart21@jhu.edu>

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for having me come to your meeting to talk about the mentoring program.  Please have interested students fill out the application ASAP – by end of the dayWednesday, 10/4, if possible. A training session will be scheduled for this coming weekend.  If there are enough UMBC students interested, we can find a room here on campus to hold the training and the JHU students will come here, otherwise, I can work with the interested students to get them up to Hopkins for the training.

Here is a blurb you can send to anyone you think might be interested! 

Build robots with local Baltimore youth!  Give back to your community by serving as a robotics mentor with a City Schools team.  These kids have taken the first step on a course toward a future in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)—robotics has been shown to increase interest in STEM subjects--and you can serve as a role model to keep them on that track to a bright future, to help them see what can happen when they remain engaged with their studies.  Furthermore, you’ll be poised to guide them in getting the most out of their robotics experience:  help them learn from failures and mistakes, and counsel them through the details of their creative ideas.  Experience with robotics is helpful, but not necessary—we will train you before you begin.  If you are interested in robotics and/or committed to working with local children, you are the mentor we are looking for!  We require:

Three hours of mandatory training which covers:   

- the requirements and expectations of the program

- the basics in working with children

- the basics of working with robotics

Mentors may need to be fingerprinted by City Schools and pass the background check (this is determined by each school)

Once you begin, time commitment is one practice a week    

- Up to two hours plus travel time

- You will partner with at least one other mentor

- Most robotics programs are after school - a common meeting time is 3-4:30pm, but schedules vary from site to site

- The season typically lasts from October to February, and potentially longer if your team qualifies for States and beyond


Along the way, you will inspire local youth, connect with local schools, families, and community leaders, meet potential professional contacts in technical and educational fields, and have a lot of fun making a difference in the community. Apply to be a mentor by the end of the day Wednesday October 4th here: https://goo.gl/forms/ht4t0bE8lV9S6fUc2  



Take care,

Margaret

Happy Fall, Asian Studies students!

Before it gets too much further into the semester, I wanted to formally welcome you (or welcome you back) to campus and to the Asian Studies Program.  For those of you who I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, I am happy to introduce myself, Dr. Julie Oakes, as the Interim Director of the Asian Studies Program for the 2017-2018 year. 

I have been at UMBC since 2007, teaching for both the Asian Studies Program and the History Department.  While my specialty is modern Japanese history, I have taught a variety of classes here such as East Asian Civilizations, Women and Gender in East Asia, and Art and Power in Japan.  In addition to continuing my work in the classroom, I will also be brainstorming with Mrs. Rosenthal and the Asian Studies Council of Majors (ASCOM) to bring you some great events this year! 

As Interim Director, it is also my honor to thank our outgoing Founding Director, Dr. Constantine Vaporis, for his tireless efforts on behalf of the Asian Studies Program.  Just to give a sense as to how the program has thrived under Dr. Vaporis’ leadership, in 2011 (the first year of the Asian Studies Program) we had two majors and one minor; today we have fifty-nine majors, twenty minors, and two students pursuing certificates!  It is impossible in such a brief space to enumerate all that Dr. Vaporis has done in the past decade (or more!) to make this program a reality.   On behalf of the students and faculty associated with the Asian Studies Program, thank you Dr. Vaporis for giving us a home.  You will be missed!
