Name: Monthly Hackathon: Hardware Edition
Start: 2014-11-01T08:30:00-06:00
End: 2014-11-01T18:00:00-06:00
Location: Startup Edmonton HQ

On the first Saturday of every month, we're hosting a Monthly Hackathon at Startup Edmonton. This hackathon is a little different than your average hackathon - we're skipping the idea pitch/planning phase and instead calling on developers and designers to come with an idea/team in mind to challenge themselves to build something in a day.

This month, we are running a Hardware Hackathon in partnership with TELUS! We will have a number of hardware items to tinker with, as well as a few technology gurus on hand from TELUS.

Items that we will have available to make projects with are:

Pebble Smart Watch (https://getpebble.com/)
Arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/)
Little Bits (http://littlebits.cc/)
Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/)
Google Glass (https://developers.google.com/glass/)
Bluetooth Beacons (http://bluetoothbeacons.com/)

To register, please fill out this form: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/monthly-hackathon-hardware-edition-tickets-13766835977

Note: as with any monthly hackathon, you're able to participate in the monthly theme or just come in with your own software project to work on.

If you're looking for ideas or a team to work with, come to our Weekly Hack Night (http://www.meetup.com/startupedmonton/events/210727612/) on Wednesday, October 29th at 6pm. We will have a few hardware items on hand to check out.
