Garage48 IoT & Machine Learning 2016

Overview

Agenda

Get Ready

Garage48 has joined forces with Microsoft & Estonian Development Cooperation Fund to bring to you the FIRST Garage48 IoT & Machine Learning hackathon in Kyiv, Ukraine! Prepare yourself for 48 hours full of fun, coding, building, designing, selling and thinking BIG! So if you’re ready to disrupt the outdated technologies and build something crazy and innovative, then this is the event for you!

Why IoT? Within the nearest future, there will be a continuously increasing number of items, that will be equipped with sensors. They will interact and collect data, then communicate this data through the internet with users and systems. The Internet of Things hackathon will help you realize your ideas to innovative technologies and infrastructure, that enable connected devices to communicate with eachother.

We expect 100+ people to work on crazy ideas with a target to have fun while doing it. Teams formed on spot aim to realize ideas presented on Friday evening in 48 hours and deliver working service or prototype by Sunday. The vibrant community energy, top-notch mentors and “no powerpoint” rule enables each team to reach the aim. We invite you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to be a part of the disruption that will play essential role in the digital IoT landscape of the future in Ukraine!

Every team will have access to the following items and gadgets (ps: be sure to take along any additional stuff you might need):

What is Garage48 about? Garage48 is a weekend long intensive development event to work out physical gadgets, new web and mobile applications to bring new startups into life. Are you an engineer, marketer, designer or a passionate visionary? If yes, join the ultimate start-up event in Kyiv! Garage48 event is a mixture of a hackathon and an exercise from a bootstrapper's bible. With origins from Estonia & the Silicon Valley, Garage48 events evolved being the first of its kind events in rapidly developing tech countries: Ukraine, Latvia, Belarus, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya & elsewhere.

So, here we go - registration is open! All the talented back-end, front-end and mobile developers, engineers, designers, team leaders, visionary and marketers - grab your seat! The event will take place from the 25th to 27th of March, 2016 in Eurasia Business Centre

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU?
Positive attitude, open mind and lots of energy! Everything you need for a rapid product development. We will have equipment and materials on site, but to be sure we recommend you to bring your own stuff as well. You never know when you need something yourself or if you could help out another team. Sharing is caring :)
Please take your: laptop 3-5m power extension cord (as power might be on distance), mobile phone all chargers Optional: photo camera to take and share photos mattress sleeping bag and towel (in case you registered for sleepover at the venue) credit cards for domain registration business cards (if you have any)

PITCHING IDEAS Please prepare a good pitch! Ideas are presented based on "elevator-pitch" method within 90 seconds. Event host and audience can ask 1 to 3 short questions. You can prepare 1 (one) PDF slide to support your pitch. You should send the slide by Friday noon, at the e-mail karin@garage48.org (Subject: name of your project). Consider following key points: Describe briefly your background (10 sec) What is the name of the idea (5 sec) What's the idea all about? What is the problem your idea solves? Target user count and description (30 sec) Technical solution and if there is a revenue model (in case of non-profit idea, how the maintenance and further development costs will be covered?) (30 sec) Minimum viable product and plan for 48 hours. Who do you need for the team? (20 sec) NB! Practice your pitch to your friends or family before you present! 90 seconds goes really fast!

FORMING TEAMS After pitching is over, we will put all the ideas on the wall. Every participant will choose their favorite idea and this is how teams will be formed. Usually 10 to 14 best ideas will get enough interested people to get the "green light" for the implementation. Average team has about 4 to 6 people and the team should be "balanced" - covering all required roles like necessary engineers, designer, a project manager (team lead/visionary), and marketer in order to get the product/service ready in 48 hours! Minimum size for a team is 4 people and max is 8 people. If some ideas get too few people or not balanced teams (probably unable to build the service), the idea will be dumped. Those people should choose another idea/team.

WORKING IN TEAMS After forming the teams, you should start by dividing roles, setting the product vision, customer journey and start working right away.
It is very important that you have a project manager (team lead) in the team - one of his tasks is to keep the focus of the team, one eye on the clock and the other on the team progress. 48 hours is really a short time.

Food and drinks.
We provide breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. So, you could focus on work and building your product.

Mentors.
We have arranged mentors to work with the teams throughout the weekend. Some of them are more technical, some more business savvy. Be open and ask for their advice and contacts.

Please wear your name badge during the whole event, this will help to encourage networking and gets you inside through security guards.
Otherwise be open, get to know new people, share your ideas and give ideas/feedback to other teams.

MOST IMPORTANT - have fun!
