Create tech solutions for social change on Hackaday World Create Day, a worldwide brainstorming session for the 2016 Hackaday Prize design concept challenge! Join teams from around the globe and submit ideas for projects that solve problems in categories from citizen science to assistive technologies, or anything else that leverages your hardware, coding, scientific, design and mechanical skills.

This day will mainly be about forming teams/collaborators who will come up with ideas and submit them for the Hackaday Prize 2016. The agenda for the day will be as follows:

10 AM - 11 AM : Introduction to Hackaday Prize 2016

11 AM - 12 PM : Project demos by people who have a working prototype.

12 PM - 12.30 PM : Introduction to Fabrication Tools

12.30 PM - 1.00 PM : Lunch break

1 PM - 2 PM : Team formation and brainstorming over ideas

2 PM - 3 PM : Submission of ideas for Hackaday Prize 2016

Hackaday will be picking the most spectacular design solutions to share on their front page, and there will be prizes. But we also want to celebrate the fun of getting together in person with all of the people who make Hackaday a part of their daily ritual, so share your photos and ideas with hashtag #WorldCreateDay!

Venue: Maker's Asylum, D-11/1, Road No. 21, Opposite Passport Seva Kendra, MIDC, Marol Industrial Area, Andheri (E), Mumbai – 400093

The Goal:

Form a team (or work on your own) and submit a project to the Hackaday Prize design challenge. See challenge details here: https://hackaday.io/prize/details#one

Need some inspiration for your project? Here are some ideas:

  • Citizen Science - Build a graphene supercapacitor, study the effects of a behavior, build an open source instrumentation device.
  • Automation - Build a device that makes breakfast or buys laundry detergent when you’re running low. Automatically track stuff, automate any process, build a Me-robot to do your every whim
  • Assistive technologies - Build a project that helps others move better, see better, or live better. Whether that means exoskeletons, a better wheelchair, a braille display, or educational software, we want to see it.
  • Or any other idea you have to hack for social change! Leverage your talent and find solutions to address technology issues facing humanity today.
