Entrepreurs: IoTHackDay is a good first step to work on and bring your idea to life. Make connections and get invaluable feedback from your fellow hackers, judges and attendees.

Hacking for fun? IoTHackDay is for you! Join your fellow makers and hobbyists for a fun day of hacking, creating and building.

Can’t attend the hackathon but want to see what people built? Join us at 7pm to listen to the teams pitch their ideas, see demos, and vote for your favorite project. We ask that you please register for free as a public voting attendee. Free drinks and snacks provided!

Interested in being a sponsor? We would love to hear from you! Find out about sponsorship by contacting us at admins@iothackday.mn

Board members of IoTFuse can participate but will not be eligible to win any prizes.

To Submit a Project

At the top of this page on the right is a button that will allow you to create a submission to this hackathon. After you've created one, the button will be both to edit your existing submission or submit another idea. Just fill out as much information as you have, and don't be afraid to write "TODO" in a required field to fill out later. 

Because we depend on building a physical device that connects to the web and there are only 12 hours to participate, more planning is often needed. If you have an idea, we recommend you submit it to Devpost beforehand so people who are attending can decide if they’d be a good match with your idea. It’s also highly recommended you research what you may need ahead of time so you can come to the hackday with appropriate tools, hardware, and expectations.

If you are planning on participating by helping with someone else’s idea, please review idea submissions and sign up for a team. Feel free to reach out to the idea submitter to let them know what you can help with.
