That's it - our 3rd Hackathon went well!

At the hackathon on 14 October, we got together and worked on our own ideas in small groups. In order to get through the day well, Avocodo supported us with sufficient food and provided their modern office in Hamerlingstraße.

The resulting projects are - as always - absolutely impressive!

In our WEB Track, which has become a standard, there were two projects this time. The project EatAway makes all culinary hearts beat faster - the aim is to build a social network for foodies where restaurant tips, favourite snacks and discounts can be shared. 🍕💵
Hearts of book lovers beat faster at the second project Tsundoku Inspired by the Japanese word that describes the art of collecting books, this website offers the opportunity to promote your favourite books and share them with your friends. 📚

In the equally well-known track on artificial intelligence, there were three exciting and different projects. The textToImage project took a look behind stableDiffusion, Dall:e and midjourney and tried to create their own models for generating images.
In ElectionPrediciton our participants tried to make a prediction about the outcome of the upcoming election in Argentina despite a very limited data set. 🗳️
The goal at Traiwell was to get better travel and tour tips for specific destinations based on entered interests, supported by AI. 🌍

In the IOT track, which took place for the first time, our programmers tried their hand at microcontroller programming. Among other things, they created the ChillChecker, which, thanks to its temperature sensor, helps us decide whether we need a jacket or not.
Waterly gives our plants a voice - by means of a soil moisture sensor, it determines whether a plant should be watered or not. 🌱
In the RFID Challenge the first steps towards the realisation of an interactive piece of music were taken. With the Troll the sound capacities of our esp32 controllers were tested to the maximum, and with the NoiseDetector the name says it all - an LED light indicates the current volume level; if it is too loud, a light is switched on.
The Morse Code Translator can output the corresponding Morse code for any word entered with the aid of a blinking LED.

To keep our energy up during the event, we were provided with breakfast from Honeder, lunch from meinmueli and lots of snacks and drinks. To loosen up, there were also short yoga sessions, a quiet room with a feminist reading corner and a selection of board games.

If this sounds interesting to you too, feel free to check back soon - it won't be the last hackathon! 😉 #keeponhacking #staytuned
