SHPE-NYC

SHPE is hosting our first annual Hackathon in the NYC area in collaboration with our Regional Leadership Development Conference. Participants will have the opportunity to work with and get familiar with Amazon Alexa software that is the voice service behind the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot. Alexa is changing how we interact with the world.Through the <A HREF="https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alexa Skills Kit</A>, a set of free, self-service, public APIs, developers can easily create new experiences for Alexa. We want you to create unique new skills that make Alexa smarter.
Alexa has the potential to impact you in your everyday life and we want you to discover all of those possibilities. Alexa can be a concierge, sous chef, fitness coach, personal shopper, and DJ — every time you add a new skill, Alexa gets a new ability. <A HREF="https://www.amazon.com/alexa-skills/b/ref=skillsrw_surl?ie=UTF8&node=13727921011" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alexa skills</A> enable voice-activated interactions that let users <A HREF="https://www.amazon.com/techdad24-com-Magic-Jukebox/dp/B01M4FWEF1" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">crank up Bon Iver</A>, <A HREF="https://www.amazon.com/www-1800flowers-com-1-800-Flowers/dp/B01E7TSGIW" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">order flowers</A>, <A HREF="https://www.amazon.com/GE-Appliances-Geneva/dp/B01JH04N74/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-skills&ie=UTF8&qid=1483730945&sr=1-2&keywords=dishwasher" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">turn on your dishwasher</A>, <A HREF="https://www.ecobee.com/faq/which-alexa-voice-commands-can-i-use-with-my-ecobee/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">cool down with your A/C</A>, or <A HREF="https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Acquisition-Star-Trek-Unofficial/dp/B01JBTLUCW/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">geek out on Star Trek</A>, all without lifting a pinkie.
