The
Raspberry Pi was well-received following its release into the market early this
year. Even though a minor glitch affected its release, it became an instant hit
among tech enthusiasts who were looking for something new.
Now it
appears that the same tech enthusiasts who snapped up the Raspberry Pi will be
given a chance to show their skills in enhancing the popular ARM computer. A
Raspberry Pi hackathon is scheduled to be held by CPC, an electronics
distributor, to look for an individual or team who can produce the best
innovation for the mini-computer.
One hundred
entries will be accepted for the Raspberry Pi hack day where they will be able
to use the board, soldering irons, internet access, and their coding skills.
Participants should complete their project within 24 hours before the winners
of the different categories will be announced by the judges.
The
categories for the Raspberry Pi hack day are the “Best Software Hack” Best
Hardware Hack”, “Best Game”, “Best Individual,” and “Best Team”. Winners of
each category will receive prizes that include Android tablets, camcorders, and
the H107 Hubsan Quadcopter.
A tour of
the Welsh factory of Sony where the device is manufacturer will also be waiting
for the best overall winner of the hack day. According to David Deventer, the
marketing head of CPC, the Raspberry Pi has revolutionized the tech market and
the company aims to host the first hack-day in the UK to celebrate the popular
device.
The
Raspberry Pi Hack Day will is scheduled to be held on December 1 and December 2
at the Munro House in Leeds.
