Bare Metal Hackathon

Build Your Own Arcade 🕹️ A one-day hardware hackathon on the new Arduino UNO Q What if your game controller was your whole body? Or a squeezable ball, a flick of the wrist, a wave in the air? On Saturday, you'll build your own arcade from scratch: a custom controller, a game of your own design, and a machine learning model you train yourself to tie them together. What you'll do: Design a game, from a simple reflex tester to something properly weirdBuild a controller with unusual inputs: gestures, buttons, joystick, motion, pressureTrain your own model with Edge Impulse so the game recognizes your movesDeploy it to the Arduino UNO Q and play it live Who it's for Everyone. Complete beginners are welcome. If you've never touched a microcontroller or trained a model, this is a great first project. Experienced makers will find plenty to push on. What's provided Arduino UNO Q boardsSensor kits with servos, steppers, pressure, force, humidity and temperature sensors, and moreLunch, drinks, and snacks all day Just bring a laptop and your ideas. How it works Sign up individually and form teams of up to 4 on the day. Spend the day building, then finish with a live demo round where everyone gets to play each other's arcade creations. Powered by Arduino and Edge Impulse. Spots are limited, so grab yours now. 🎮
