2nd PCH / DCU Hardware Hackathon is up and running

Back for another Hardware Hackathon hosted by PCH International and DCU Innovation Academy.

Why so soon?

Well it turned out the Web Summit were planning to have a Hackathon anyway, so it made sense to grab the opportunity. This one has some differences to the last one too. There is more of an emphasis on the importance of design. It was there in the last one, but this time with NCAD on board, it is even more important for the teams to consider it. In a world where the ability to create prototypes gets easier and easier, the importance of design increases. Designpartners  were also prominently there too, to help teams develop optimal designs. The final creations will be developed tomorrow and there offerings will be eagerly awaited.
