    PCH Hardware Hackathon


    DCU Innovation Campus


    The PCH Hackathon aims to attract Ireland’s makers, designers, engineers, technology-enthusiasts, marketers, designers and anyone interested in the idea of bringing products to life to get their hands dirty to make a prototype of a connected device in just three days.

    This is the third Hackathon to be hosted by PCH in Dublin in partnership with DCU Innovation Campus, and follows successful events in 2014.

    New elements have been added to this PCH Hackathon’s agenda, including:
    –          Five-minute pitch-off sessions for established startups (non-Hackathon participants) to pitch for a prize of €1000 funding –  takes place Friday
    –          Two panel discussions including some of the biggest names in technology worldwide – Friday and Sunday
    –          Public access now allowing members of the public to attend demos and talks on the Friday and Sunday night

    On Friday 22 May, PCH Hackathon participants will be invited to pitch ideas to the crowd and attract attendees to form design and production teams with a prize of €1,000 at stake.

    In 54 hours, the teams will go from idea to prototype with help from mentors. The event will included one-on-one mentorship, optional workshops, speakers and pitch practice. During the hackathon, participants will have access to an incredible list of resources including developer kits, prototyping tools, as well as 3D printers, CNC machines, soldering irons, and a laser cutter. There will be cash prizes for the first place team of €3,000, and a variety of other prizes for finalists.

    Early Bird prices are €40 for the full weekend pass. Early Bird prices are €10 for spectators of the Friday and Sunday demo nights. Regular prices are €50 for the full weekend pass. Regular prices are €15 for spectators of the Friday & Sunday demo nights.
