About This Theme

Make the physical world talk to the digital one. This hack night is about building hardware-software systems — sensors that post data to the web, apps that control physical devices, or IoT dashboards that visualize real-world readings.

The Challenge

Build a system where a physical device (ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi) communicates with a web interface. Something in the real world should change something on screen, or vice versa.
