Vancouver, BC
Urban Opus is hosting a Vancouver Smart City Hackathon - come and join us!
Prizes: TBD
Resources
We will be using the Urban Opus data hub as our primary source of data. It contains a set of real-time and open-data related to transport, environment and the city. Anybody can upload open data to the Hub, or push realtime data to the Hub - and anybody can browse, view and graph data via the Hub's UI, or access the data via the Hub APIs. If you have a data source you want in the Hub, contact us and we'll try and set it up for the Hackathon.
Check it out at: Urban Opus data hub
Of course, you're not obliged to use the Hub, or the data, but we'll have experts on hand to help you with the Hub so it'll let you get started quicker.
In addition, we'll be supporting the cool Node-RED IoT visual programming tool that is the hot latest tech for IoT. Check it out at: IoT foundry.
We'll be bringing along a box full of cool gadgets including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, IoT gateways and a whole set of sensors.
If you're looking for some project ideas, check out the projects on the Urban Opus web project pages. If course, if you've got your own data, ideas and hardware - bring them too.
