The Big Smart Hack, which was held last weekend at the “Tempio di Adriano” in Rome, involved teams in design and development for 36 consecutive hours. Eighteen teams reached the final pitch.
Four teams won the challenges launched by Eni, Comau, IGPDecaux, Olivetti on smart cities, energetic efficiency, big data, and IoT:
- Eni Change
- The Doors
- Desaparecido
- Carrot
The prize of the challenge on energetic efficiency promoted by ENI was a trip to the Las Vegas CES 2018 for the team that worked on EniChange Energetic Crowdsourcing. The team worked to give energy efficiency a value that can be exchanged for other goods or used to finance social growth and projects of collective interest.
Team members: Fabricio Jimenez Tituasan Milton and Mohamed Fadiga, coaches at the Palestra dell'Innovazione and at the Interconnessioni Health Hackathon [see news: A Health Challenge].
The prize for the challenge on IoT and agriculture promoted by Olivetti, 4000 euro in coupons, went to Team Carrots, which developed an algorithm that statistically forecasts useful weather conditions for agriculture.
Team members: Davide Aloisi, Robotics champion and Phyrtual Innovation Gym Coach.
