Hack4SmartServices Hackathon on the Brightlands Smart Services Campus
The next Hack4SmartServices Hackathon is coming! This year’s event, under the theme ‘Mobility as a service’, will be held on the Brightlands Smart Services Campus on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 24–26 November 2017. Prior to the hackathon, an Inspirational Event will take place on the evening of Thursday 26 October. Students from all study programmes are cordially invited to participate.
During the hackathon you use technology to tackle a particular challenge. In a small team of four to six people, you develop a proof-of-concept and write a business plan. Coaches will be present throughout the weekend to assist with different aspects: using smart technology, conducting experiments, analysing data, writing software, doing business and pitching your idea. All this happens within a period of 48 hours. The winners of the hackathon will take home fantastic prizes.
