A couple of weeks at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Moscow, Nobel st., 3), together with experts from the institute, as well as representatives of InSpark, Intel, Microsoft and Huawei, we will organize a hackathon in the field of IoT. There are few restrictions, a lot of different equipment, awards from partners and a prize fund of half a million rubles. This is in brief. And the details under the cut.

')

• Novelty and originality of the idea

• Utility, potential market demand
  
• Applicability in practice
  
• The quality of the preparation of the accompanying materials (volume and content of the presentation, project description, performance)
  

The restrictions on the size of the team are minor: you need a whole positive number of participants. The source code of the project is not necessary to provide - enough snapshot, and then in case of disputes. During work, mentors will conduct briefs with teams and assist as needed.
