The Challenge

This year’s Chess Digital Hackathon challenge is to build an application using real-time datastreams provided by the www.satori.com open data platform. The Satori platform is free to use and provides a wealth of real-time data streams that can be leveraged to create awesome applications.

The Satori supports most major languages and has several SDKs to aide with the development of your application.

There are many real-time datastreams available to help power your data driven application. Use your imagination and conjure up an application, utility, or service that consumes one or more of the published data streams. Let your imagination run wild!

Explore the data streams here: https://www.satori.com/opendata/channels

Developer Signup (its free!): https://developer.satori.com/#/signup

Please Note:

Extra style points on offer if you have an application that works by the end of the session.

Participants are encouraged to work in groups of two or three although prizes may be awarded on a person by person basis.

During the Hackathon, Chess will be looking for 2 ambitious and passionate Developers to join our 2018 Graduate Scheme. There is also the opportunity of a Summer Placement for participants who are not currently in their final year.
