🚀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:

1. Start coding from scratch during the H@ck day.

2. No code sharing among different teams.

3. The use of the TEACHING platform is mandatory.

4. While we provide a Starting App Kit, a Rasbperry and a camera module, their usage is not mandatory

5. 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

• Linux / Raspbian OS

• RPI camera module

• PuTTy and SSH

• Connecting Laptop to Raspberry via Eth

• RabbitMQ and Pika

💻 During the H@ck

During the Hackathon you will learn about:

• TEACHING platform

• 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.
