The College of Computing is ready to host it's second project of the semester! On March 2nd and 3rd we will be sponsoring the "Get a Move On" Hackathon. This hack will focus on music, dance, fitness, gaming or sports and as a team you must address one of the following: improving user performance, motivating users, enhance the user experience, and connect/communicate to or with users. We will be incorporating both a software and hardware element this go around as well!
We'll provide space, food, and some tools if your hack requires hardware. Check below for a schedule of the event, resources, and other information as the hackathon progresses. Enjoy, and get to hacking!
Deliver a digital solution that combines social, mobile, IoT, analytics, or other techniques to improve user performance, to motivate users, to enhance user experience, and to help build connections with users. Consider health and fitness data and how to maximize this knowledge.
Use the provided hardware or virtual reality equipment to improve user performance, to motivate users, to enhance the user experience, and to help build connections with users. The solution you design could monitor fitness activities, introduce workouts designed to build strength or lose weight, help prevent illnesses, or even bring down health and fitness costs along with individual insurance savings. The possibilities are endless as you focus on innovation in health and fitness activities.
*Sponsors will announce any private level awards in addition to Grand Prizes for software and hardware.
