Love hackathons? Love fame and fortune? Want to meet some new developers in the area?
This Tiny Home & Futue Auto IOT Hackathon is for you.
The challenge of the event is to build an IOT home or auto hack with vin.li, particle.io, Webtask.io, T-mobile and Apptentive products. Want to make a crazy robot toaster that spits out Hello Kitty branded toast? Or a Tinder-based taxi game to make your drive more... interesting? Best of all, you can string together an app without a server. Just use webtask.io. And, of course, any idea is welcome and fair game!
Five final teams will all be showcased on-stage at Seattle Interactive Conference for a panel of high profile, celebrity judges for a chance to win a boatload of cash and the opportunity to have lunch with T-Mobile CIO, Cody Sanford.
Things you get just for particpating:
T-Mobile’s recruiting department has agreed that if anyone from the Hackathon applies for a TMO open position using a promo code they will provide, they will be guaranteed an interview with T-Mobile’s head of technical recruiting.
All particpants will recieve a FREE pass to the Seattle Interactive Conference.
