Welcome to GM’s “Makers Hustle Harder” Tour, hosted by Artisan’s Asylum! As a participant in the “Makers Hustle Harder” Hackathon, you will receive exclusive access to GM’s Next Generation Infotainment SDK to build and test your own connected car experience.

The kick-off for the event will be Tuesday, September 26th, 2017 from 6 to 9 PM; this session will cover the essentials, give you a chance to form teams (unless you already have one), and get you rolling with the SDK.
