To wrap up our two-day workshop, we will be holding a half-day hackathon, from 14:00-17:45 on June 25th. This is an opportunity for you to put the skills you've just learnt to work on solving a problem using MDAnalysis! We encourage you to begin work on an MDAKit of your own - but you're free to work on anything related to MDAnalysis. See below for more information.
Start thinking about what you'd like to do early. We also encourage you to work in groups to tackle the same or similar issues together. A white board will be available throughout the workshop for gathering ideas and organising groups.
Your MDAnalysis tutors will be on hand to help out with any questions or issues you may have.
Joining remotely? You can still join in on the hackathon! We'll have MDAnalysis personnel keeping an eye online to help out with questions asked on our Discord Server or GitHub Discussions.

| 17:15 - 17:45 | Wrap-up and Showcase |
We'll end the hackathon with a short showcase - this is your opportunity to for you/your group to show of the work you did (no matter how small!). If you want to present, add a slide to the shared Google slides presentation. A link will be provided beforehand.
Have an idea for a useful tool that uses MDAnalysis? Start turning it into an MDAKit today!
Don't have your own idea but still want to work on an MDAKit? You could join forces someone else to help bring their idea to life. We also have some ideas for MDAKits listed here.
We're always looking for new contributors to the core MDAnalysis library and our User Guide. You could use this hackathon to fix one of our many issues, or maybe add a fun new enhancement. See more information here.
Have a problem in your own work you want to solve with MDAnaylsis (e.g. a particular analysis you want to perform?), you can also use this session to work on that!
