First NC hackathon focused on the Internet of Things set for October

Riot will hold the first North Carolina Hackathon focused on the Internet of Things at NC State’s Centennial Campus, Oct. 2-4.

Anyone can attend, the organizers say, adivsing, “Pitcyh your ide4a to the audience…form teams and go build.\

Hackers compete not only for fame and glory, but also for a spot at a weekend Groundwork Labs accelerator, especially designed for Internet of Things companies.

Hardware, software, food & bev, and mentorship provided for the entire weekend. That’s a bargain for $75 (standard ticket) and $25 (student rate).

This event was born from direct feedback from the RIoT community, with numerous member companies chipping in to make it a reality: Bright Wolf, Device Solutions, ST Microelectronics, ASSIST, Smashing Boxes, Groundwork Labs, Reveal Mobile, and the Wireless Research Center of NC.
