Intel® Joule™ Platform Hackathon

Welcome to the next big thing in little computers. Whether you’re looking to build a robot that knows its environment, a drone that you don’t need to maneuver with a controller or make the next VR headset, the Intel® Joule™ is the development kit you need in your arsenal.

The Intel team has listened to your ideas and is bringing all the sensors, tools, and goodies you need to get your hackathon project rolling.

Join us on November 4th - 6th to turn your ideas into reality. Get ready to design faster, prototype easier, and invent more with the Intel Joule.
