This schedule is preliminary, just to give you an idea of the rough structure of the two days at the MRS Hackathon. The structure on site will be very fluid - you can pop it and out of sessions as you like, and we may collaboratively decide to insert more opportunities for attendees to present, interact, hold little tutorials, etc.
