The Hackathon

Into The Speckleverse

Welcome to our very first hackathon!

Over three days teams from all over the world will get together virtually and hack something cool with Speckle.

What is Speckle?

Speckle is the platform for 3D data.

Speckle makes 3D data accessible to anyone with a browser, and lets designers collaboratively share their creations from the comfort zone of their favorite software. Developers and analysts leverage Speckle's APIs to build powerful automation pipelines and web applications. Being fully open source, entire organizations rely on Speckle as the base for their digital workflows. Speckle is fully extensible and customizable, vendor agnostic, and meets the most stringent data residency requirements.

How it works

This is a virtual event, and so we will be all working from the comfort of our offices or homes. After you register you will be invited to a private Discord server where all the magic will happen! When the event closes you'll be asked to submit your work, and after that our judges will get together to review it.

    Best Use of Data Exchange

    This hack deals specifically with the initial problem of Speckle. Speckle was created to facilitate the exchange of data information. Hence why we have many connectors and tools designed for people to have better and more free access to their data information. By having this data, we believe that users are empowered to generate applications that they could not have before. This hack strongly aligns with the vision of Speckle with respect to our interoperability goals and data goals.

    Biggest Impact on a Social Problem

    This hack deals specifically with a real world problem and not necessarily just an architecture, engineering, and construction in particular. This could be an environmental problem, such as carbon tool or a statistical studies with Speckle in household income for urban planning. What we want to see is that the hack is addressing a societal problem and brings positive change to the community.

    Best Hack in terms of Creativity and "Wow Factor"

    This hack should speak out to you and just impress you in terms of "Wow". There might not be a very practical use for this hack but it implements cool technology and is super cool. It is a show piece and might just be a show piece. Think about buzz words like Machine Learning and other maybe block chain. Block chain and NFTs with Speckle might seem weird. But it’s definitely a cool use of Speckle.
