XR / E-Commerce Hackathon

Taylor Semelsberger

OVERVIEW
Retail Technology Startup, Miro Solutions UK, is excited to be hosting an XR / E-Commerce Hackathon on March 23rd 2019 from 9:00-21:00 at The University of Westminster Cavendish. This hackathon will challenge participants to use both Virtual & Augmented Reality in order to change the way in which customers shop online. 
Miro is Smart-Fit Software that aims to take the guesswork out of buying footwear online, using XR to increase fit confidence and reduce online retailer's physical returns. Founded by a University of Westminster Alumni in 2018; Miro is the first of its kind and has been recognized in Startup Competitions around the UK. 
As a Female Founded business we hope that this event will encourage women involved in, or interested in STEM careers. Whether or not you have been to a hackathon in the past, you've never been to one like this before! 
This event aims to bring together tech-students from around London to collaborate, innovate, and most importantly - have fun! 
 
SKILL REQUIREMENTS & REWARDS
We are looking for 25 university students from a wide range of backgrounds including but not limited to: Web Design & Development (UX & UI), Mobile & Web Computing, Software Engineering and Project Management. Experience in AR / VR / XR is a plus but not a requirement. We do, however, expect participants to have prior knowledge of development.
The aim of this hack will be to give students the chance to apply the skills they've learned in the classroom to real-world enterprise application development, alongside our industry mentors. 
This is a great opportunity not only to connect with other students, but to learn from professional mentors in the field. This event will give participants a unique opportunity to develop their portfolios in both a fun and collaborative environment. 
 
DETAILS
Lunch will be catered by Nando's and beverages will be provided by Camden Brewery. Additional snacks and  beverages will be provided throughout the day. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know beforehand so that we can provide alternative arrangements. The day will conclude with networking and drinks.
