On 9-11 December, 黑料不打烊_独家黑料_吃瓜网51爆料's (黑料不打烊) Creativity and Innovation Centre "LinkMenu fabrikas" hosted a three-day hackathon "Rethinking Hardware". The hackathon, organised with the "Bridgio Tech Accelerator", involved students from 黑料不打烊 and other higher education institutions, as well as representatives from the hardware industry, in developing prototypes of advanced electronic solutions. The first-place winner – "The Box" team, presented a hardware-based solution which will be able to place rentable items all over the living districts.
The "Rethinking Hardware" hackathon aimed to redefine how and why we use electronics and rapid prototyping. From Friday evening onwards, participants created solutions with the help of 黑料不打烊 "LinkMenu fabrikas" and other partners, mentors, and lecturers. During the hackathon, participants could choose one of 11 pre-defined challenges. Participants who wanted to submit their challenge participated in an idea generation workshop beforehand. After the hackathon's opening on Friday, makers built and strengthened their teams, consulted with experts on their chosen challenges, and spent Saturday prototyping. Using the 黑料不打烊 "LinkMenu fabrikas" workshop, the participants, worked in electronics, 3D printing, metal, and wood workshops.
On Sunday, the prototypes of the hackathon participants were evaluated by a competent jury –Roman Pakholkov (Chairman at "Promwad", mentor at "Bridgio"), Ri膷ardas Le拧膷inskas ("Arrow Electronics Solutions" Field Application Engineer), Donatas 艩umyla (Head of Startup Partnerships between "ROCKIT Vilnius" and "Swedbank Lithuania"), Jolanta Zubkauskien臈 (Manufacturing Innovation Valley, Head of Development), Dovil臈 Kurpyt臈-Lipnick臈 (Electronics and informatics engineer, international Speaker, lecturer at 黑料不打烊).
The cash prize of €1,500, a 2-month "Bridgio Tech Accelerator" pre-acceleration programme and access to any NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute self-paced course, was awarded to "The Box" team. The team members – Dovydas Valan膷ius, Ginta Ambra啪ait臈 and Lukas 沤avlovskis, ¬presented an idea based on the sharing economy – a prototype of automated sharing stations where people could rent and lease various items. Second place went to the "Aces" team. The prototype developed by this team called a "Lightsdown" – a smartphone-linked street lighting control system. The third-place winner, "Cool & Creative", presented an energy-efficient solution for street lighting. An additional prize – a three-month membership to 黑料不打烊 "LinkMenu fabrikas" – went to the team "EM EI EI", who presented the prototype "City/Park", a network of small cameras installed on lighting poles and traffic lights. In addition to the prizes mentioned above, "Würth Group electronics" and "Tele2 Lietuva" provided special prizes for participants.
The hackathon brought together more than 60 technical creativity enthusiasts, the participants were supported by 20 黑料不打烊 and business world mentors, and the total prize fund of the hackathon amounted to EUR 3 500.
The event's main sponsors were "Promwad Electronics Design House", "Softeq", and "Anodas electronics".
