14 days till HackTM and we’re preparing for you a few previews of the event so you can grow some ideas and blend them with the ones you hear there. Together with our category partners, we are getting ready pre-event meetups. Here, you can learn more about what projects are included in the category and you can get ideas if you didn’t have one yet.
#GameDev meetup
Game always had a special in the hearts of software developers. Being on the developer side of the game is every bit as exciting as playing it. So choose your weapon: desktop, mobile, web based, you name it!
This pre-event will be taking place on Friday, 6th of May, 7.00 pm. If you are interested, you can also check the Facebook event.

Vladut Vatafu, a 14 year old student, a CoderDojo Timișoara ninja and game development enthusiast, will present the game Coama’s Quest for Cola, a tribute to Alex Iatan one of his prefered mentors :).
#IoT meetup
The Internet of Things is a computing concept that describes a future where everyday physical objects will be connected to the Internet and be able to identify themselves to other devices. The term is closely identified with wireless technologies, M2M communications, telematics, sensors networks, QR codes and RFIDs.
Claudiu Suma and Calin Crisan, from Safefleet, will bring to discussion a few hot topics for this category, like affordable IoT wide area networks and efficient WiFi Chips for the IoT. They will also present this category and a few project possibilities.
Continental Automotive will also have a short presentation NFC development environment.
#Robots meetup
The foreseeable future will feature intelligent devices that will be able to see and sense object shapes or features, and distance or depth of them. If you had all this information today, what would you advise your robot to do autonomously?
Valentin Muresan will be telling us more about intelligent robots and about the category that Movidius is sponsoring. We live in a world of intelligent robots, drones and mobile phones/assistants. The technologies behind these products are heralded by a new wave of deep learning applications ported on mobile devices. The robotic and vision technologies behind these products will shift the applications of electronic devices to a more superior level of intelligence. Recent processor technologies make all this happen as we speak.
This two pre-events will be taking place on Tuesday, 10th of May, 7.00 pm. The place where it will happen is Timisoara Startup Hub.
#Design meetup
The design of a product is just as important as its features. Thus, designers are very important for us, HackTM people. We want to talk to you about the experience of participating at a hackathon and to share some advice learnt by our speakers.
Our creative partners, New Haircut, are going to be there and to have this short discussion with you, where you can also find the answer to your design related questions.
Ioana Iordan, Ileana Georgiu and Bogdan Negrescu, former HackTM participants, and members of New Haircut, will be the ones answering your questions.
This pre-event will be taking place on Thursday, 12th of May,7.00 pm. The place where it will happen is Alt Club.
