Hardware Academy launches IoT competition with Intel

Hardware Academy, an IoT education startup, has teamed up with Intel to launch the Intel Edison Developer Challenge, a competition for innovative IoT projects featuring Intel technology.

The competition is looking for IoT developers to submit product proposals with a view to building a working IoT prototype. The projects are expected to combine the Intel Edison, sensors, gateway, cloud technology and imagination.

The 10 best product proposals will receive a free Edison kit and will have eight weeks to build their prototype.

The prototype solution should aim to solve a problem associated with managing in the home or office, or an IoT gateway to manage a refrigerated vehicle or factory, or similar applications.

The winning prototype will be awarded a cash prize of £1000 and £500 worth of 3D printing services.
