2016 Hackaday Prize is here
The 2016 Hackaday Prize has been announced today and its time to leverage your hardware skills and creativity to build something awesome that could change people’s lives and win one of 105 cash prizes totaling over $300,000. This year, they are doing this little bit differently. Instead of one big contest, there are five different challenges, each runs for five weeks, and participants can enter their design project to one or more challenges.
The Hackaday Prize is a competition synonymous with creating for social change. Using your hardware, coding, scientific, design and mechanical abilities, you will make big changes in peoples’ lives.
It’s time to leverage your talent and find solutions to address technology issues facing humanity today. With a new technical design challenge every 5 weeks, you are expanding the frontiers of knowledge and engineering.
Design an impactful project that suits you, or collaborate with someone else to do it. With our global collaboration platform, your project can be moving forward at all hours of the day. Create things like a better radiation monitoring system, a better calorimeter, open source instrumentation, digital logging scales and exercise trackers. Or go beyond that and create something that has never been seen before.
