AEC Technology Hackathon 2016

Developing technologies to disrupt project workflows

December 9th to December 10th

Thornton Tomasetti's CORE studio is hosting its fourth annual AEC Technology Symposium and Hackathon. The focus will be on digital/computational technologies that have been used on projects, the lessons learned from them, and how it impacted the overall project workflows. The Hackathon aims for attendees to learn new skills, generate new ideas and processes for the AEC community through data-driven design and customized applications.

• Awesomeness
  We are looking for techniques that no one has ever thought of. In your presentation you must clearly state the problem you are trying to solve for the AEC industry. We will judge the creativity and usefulness of your solution (50%)
• Openness/Collaboration
  We encourage you to develop an app that can easily be used by others. Does it live on GitHub/ bitbucket? Is it open? Rather than reinventing the paperclip, did you leverage other great techniques that already exist to build your novel idea? (20%)
• Teamwork
  We encourage you to have colorful teams. As such we will reward teams that are not solely formed of coworkers. After all, we want to use this time to make new connections too. The maximum allowed team size is 5 people. (20%)
• Learning
  Which technologies/ APIs/ products/ methods did you use, that you did not know before? Did you consult any of the hackathon leaders to help you out? Did you help other teams accomplish a task? We encourage knowledge exchange and exploration.(10%)
