Next weekend, June 13 and 14, the global TADHack takes place all over the world. You can participate on site or remotely, and there are a lot of different prizes to be won - in total the prize pot is worth $35k!
For the best two hacks using our technology, we will award a whole lot of Tessel modules! Tessel is a new breed of development board that runs entirely on Node.js, and they come with different modules you can plug in - for more information, see: getting started & sample projects.
Both prizes will include several tessel modules, including:
- multiple core tessel boards
- multiple servo modules and many servo motors
- multiple ambient modules
- multiple accelerometer modules
- camera module
- GPS module with antenna
- microsd module
- bluetooth module
- audio module
- climate module
- relay module
- RFID module
- DIY module kit
Matrix.org will be present at the London site, Idea London in Shoreditch, where we will help both local and remote participants (via #matrix:matrix.org) using the Matrix APIs as part of their hacks.
So if you have some spare time next weekend - why not have a think about what could be a cool hack and join us for the global TADHack event! See you there!
