Seattle Interactive   IOT Hackathon - Tiny Home & Automotive

Seattle Interactive

<H2>Love fame, fortune and hackathons? Want to meet some new developers in the area?</H2>
This hack is focused on IOT for tiny home & automotive. Want to make a crazy robot toaster that spits out Hello Kitty branded toast? Or a remote controlled AC unit with an arduino/raspberry-pi? Maybe an automatic facial recognition system with a raspberry pi that covers your car and that automatically tweets motion triggered images to <A HREF="https://twitter.com/SeattlePD" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@seattlePD</A>?

How?
