SAN FRANCISCO, CA: The AT&T Developer Program and MWC Americas invited the public to innovate and build what’s next in technology on Sept. 9-10 at the WeWork Embarcadero Center in San Francisco.
Creative thinkers participated in a special Internet of Things (IoT)-focused hackathon where people of all skill levels brought in their unique perspectives to hack cutting edge hardware and create positive change.
First prize of $2,500 went to Revolution 11’s Smart Manhole Cover, which notifies the user when a manhole cover has been opened and uses sensors that track and convey information on what is contained below it. Second prize of $1,500 went to a team that developed a prototype of a smart device that triggers an alarm in the event that the user’s valuables (bicycle or laptop) are interfered with in their absence. Finally, an honorable mention went to an LTE-M based solution with the ability to track schoolchildren as they arrive at school or into their classroom.
