The inaugural IoT Hacker-and-Makerthon at UW–Madison is here! In just 24 hours, you and your team will tackle real-world challenges provided by industry partners Plexus and Accuray. Use your skills from class, connect with their engineers, and bring your creativity to life – whether it’s in IoT, robotics, or beyond. There are no limits to what you can build! Mentors will be available around the clock to support you.
In addition to developing your solution, you will also have the opportunity to sharpen your presentation skills. By the end of the event, you will be ready to showcase your project – and maybe even take home a cash prize!
And don’t worry about food or drinks: we’ve got you covered throughout the entire event. Come hungry, be curious, and stay inspired!
Brought to you by the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Grainger Engineering Design Innovation Laboratory.
ALL students are welcome and encouraged to participate!
