THE CHALLENGE
KiwiOS X – the easiest way of building an valuable energy app
Build an app that clearly displays historical and current energy data from PV system, storage and charging station in a responsive UI and use the data from these 3 data sources to enable a use case that provides tangible value to the energy consumer.
The Thin[gk]athon will take place from 05/10/2022 (9:00 AM) to 07/10/2022 (5:00 PM). The event is held in compliance with the valid Corona guidelines and with a hygiene concept on site in Dresden.
THE APPROACH
„There are no limits to ideas“ – in the above-mentioned framework of the Challenge, solution demonstrators are developed from the combination of hardware, connectivity and software.
We guarantee technical and methodological support throughout the entire event period. Access to technology experts (APIs, data, protocols), challenge owners (technical know-how, use case) and support by coaches is ensured.
THE PRICE
After the results have been evaluated by a jury of experts, prizes will be awarded to the best solutions
The total prize money of 2,000€ will be donated to a charitable organization. The winning teams will nominate the charity:
