What is a hackathon? or Smacrothon? you kind of never know, BUT for us it was two days, a pile of random hardware, scraps, and the ask to write the most unhinged code possible. and we got to do it with our friends at smooth technology
Four cross-functional teams each drew a market for a made up company: services, tech and apps, consumables, or gadgets and games. Then they built whatever sounded most fun inside it.
What came out the other end: a game where you go head to head with an AI toaster. An ATM that pays out for karaoke and appraises whatever you deposit. A rhythm breathing game built around a ho**ah. A full-motion tank simulator.
And none of them got to just be a gag. At the end of day two, every team had to stand up and pitch theirs like a real product: who it’s for, what it does for them, why it deserves a spot on the floor.
