HackOMania is an annual flagship event of GeeksHacking Community that brings students and tech professionals together over 24 hours to tackle real world challenges.

GeeksHacking Community

We are passionate software developers, user experience designers, computer engineers and technopreneurs who want to give back to the tech community using our skills and experiences. We want to create innovative and impactful solutions that will make a difference in the world today.

This year, we want to work on Creating Smart Homes. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the ubiquitous mobile phone, the home surprisingly remains largely unchanged. We envision that through HackOMania 2018, we would be able to synergize the conveniences that tech has already given us with everyday use cases; creating solutions using machine learning and AI that would impact our everyday life at home

We want to “Change The World With Code”. Do you?

Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data analytic capabilities that will transform the way we work, live, and play. How can we use IoT to make homes smarter?
