Uppsala Hackathon 2016 was held at the 22nd of October, thank you for participating, see you next year!
The winners where:
The price of the jury: Cebola [" Get out of your eco-chamber". - Our goal is to help people find ideas and points-of-view that differ from their own. Our first implementation is on top of GitHub's social graph.]
The price of the participants: Hi5! [We courageously attempted to reinvent the way humans do High Five. Never before has the experience been so refined, tactile, measure and delightful. Handily avalible on the AppleWatch.]
Welcome to Uppsala Hackathon 2016!
It's that time of year again when Uppsala's creative crowd sits down to make something cool in one day! Sign up alone or with some friends and think of an idea you want to try out during the hackathon on October 22nd.
As always, Uppsala Hackathon is admission free, and food will be served throughout the day (breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks and coffee)!
This year, the theme is "disruptive tech". Create something embracing this theme during the day, and if you are lucky, you might charm the jury enough to be crowned the winner.
