Chaihuo x.factory will have the Hackaday team in town and kick off the Hackaday Prize China on Friday.
The Hackaday Prize aims to inspire more hackers in China to participate in the global contest. The Hackaday Prize is a grand competition where thousands of hardware hackers, makers and artists compete to build a better future. Anyone in the world may enter the contest and build a solution. Ten entries from China will go on the finals where the judges will award the 2019 Hackaday Prize of US$125,000 and 10 other top prizes totaling US$65,000.
Sophi Kravitz, director of product at Hackaday, will share some insights from Hackaday Prize China and introduce a detailed guide for those who want to join the contest.
Kravitz is an electronics engineer and new media artist. She has been working in hardware product design, marketing, sales and engineering since 2006.
Meanwhile, Mike Szczys, editor-in-chief of Hackaday, will share from a community perspective with an introduction to Hackaday.
Szczys is an orchestra musician by night and a writer by day. His entrance into electronics started with BEAM robot builds but quickly moved into the realm of embedded systems.
You are invited to bring your cool hacks and projects and share your hacking stories. Please send an email (topic, project information) to branding@seeed.cc to secure your sharing spot.
There will be 50 free cube development boards giving away for the event participants, especially for project sharers and Q&A participants. The cube has its own TRNG (true random number generator) and can create the stream of random numbers. It has also the PRNG (pseudo RNG), so it can be used as the cryptographic engine, predominantly for experimenting and playing around. It has a flash memory with 16 Mbits (2 Mbytes), which can be used, for instance, as the storage for OTP (one-time pad) random number base, the only cryptography method that can’t be cracked.
Time: 7:30-10 p.m., March 22
