The Goal:
By the end of this meetup, each team will submit a project to the Hackaday Prize design challenge. See challenge details here: https://hackaday.io/prize/details#one
Need some inspiration for your project? Here are some ideas:
Citizen Science - Build a graphene supercapacitor, study the effects of a behavior, build an open source instrumentation device.
Automation - Build a device that makes breakfast or buys laundry detergent when you’re running low. Automatically track stuff, automate any process, build a Me-robot to do your every whim
Assistive technologies - Build a project that helps others move better, see better, or live better. Whether that means exoskeletons, a better wheelchair, a braille display, or educational software, we want to see it.
Or any other idea you have to hack for social change! Leverage your talent and find solutions to address technology issues facing humanity today.
