Hackathonukah - 2014
Event Information
Description
Hackathonukah is the hackathon of lights. It is a 25 hour technology event that celebrates lights, programming, hardware and The Internet of Things. This event will bring together the diverse talent found in the greater New York technology community to build cool stuff, eat Hanukkah-themed food, and have fun!
Hackathonukah will feature smart lighting and connected devices, such as SmartThings, LIFX, and Philips Hue, and the integration of novel and exciting sensors, such as Thalmic Myo and Microsoft Kinect. Participants can compete for great prizes from our generous sponsors.
Additionally, beginners can attend one of our technology crash courses that will dive into the basics of programming/hardware hacking and have you build a project of your own!
Hackathonukah begins Saturday night after sundown and ends on Sunday night.
