Technology Association of Georgia IOT Hackathon - Stadium of Things

WHY?  We want to do more than talk about IOT we want to build it!

The internet of things symposium will gather the greater Atlanta community together on August 31st.

http://www.tagonline.org/iotga/

The hackathon is intended to develop proof of concepts to help the community understand the possibilities of internet of things. We want to do more than talk about IoT we want to build it!

As an IOT use case, we would like to see how we could improve a high school sports stadium.

WHO?    Hackathon is for Everyone!

Hackers who write the software
Geeks who build the devices and infrastructure
Makers who craft reality from idea
Storytellers who listen to and tell the customer journey
Innovators who understand the business of IoT
