🚀Getting Started
Some Technical info to help you prepare the H@ck!
Here you'll find more technical information about the TEACHING H@ckathon!
Remember to bring your Laptop with you! (and your rubber duck 🦆)
🕵️ Rules
The only rules are:
Start coding from scratch during the H@ck day.
No code sharing among different teams.
The use of the TEACHING platform is mandatory.
While we provide a Starting App Kit, a Rasbperry and a camera module, their usage is not mandatory
We value creativity and complexity: the most surprising app will win the H@ackathon!
📚 Before the H@ck
Before joining us the 30th of June in one of our locations, please consider getting a bit familiar with the following material / tools:
Tensorflow and Keras
Docker and Docker Compose
💻 During the H@ck
During the Hackathon you will learn about:
How to create a custom module in the AI-Toolkit
How to create your own TEACHING app and run it on a Raspberry PI or your laptop
How to craft a presentation and pitch your app to the Jury!
📦 Starting App Kit
At the start of the Hack day, we will show you a working example of a TEACHING up and how you can use it as a starting point for your own!
The app essentially is build on three main micro-services. It captures an image every 15 seconds, forwards it on a rabbitmq channel and on the other end an AI-Toolkit module classifies it with a Keras pre-trained model on imagenet.
This can be used as a starting point for more interesting apps but remember: working with the RPI is hard as those have only 1GB of RAM! -> Start simple! 😄
🏆 Win the H@ck!
By the end of the Hackathon we expect you to be able to create and run a custom TEACHING app with your crazy idea, pitch it to the jury and bring the prizes home! 😄🎉
❓FAQ
I'm worried, I don't know anything about this stuff, should I really join? 😢
Don't worry buddy, we got you! 😄 In every location there will be some support stuff that will help your team out!
Should I prepare in some way before the H@ckhathon?
A preparation is not required, we will explain all the necessary details during the Hack day! However, we suggest to go through the Before the H@ck material and tools if you have time.
