You can bring/build any demo-able platform/device that fits the theme. Do some reading and research on whats out there and how your hack could make a difference. You are responsible for knowing and setting up your IDEs, SDKs, APIs. To start the process go to www.mashape.com or www.publicapis.com to start your research. Assume there will be help on the day from mentors and event professionals to give advice and guidance. Be prepared

Let us know on the day if you are already in a team when you arrive. If you are not in a team, just turn up and we will help slot you into a team that you feel comfortable with. Food and drink will be provided to keep you going throughout the hack.
