Online hackathon from Naviaddress

image

This is not a two-day hackathon where you sleep a little and kodish a lot. This is a full ten days to create a thoughtful project. From September 20 to September 30, the global digital address system Naviaddress conducts a hackathon for "long-distance programmers". As a finishing ribbon - a prize fund of 400,000 rubles.

Who are we


Naviaddress is a platform for addressing places and objects using numbers. It allows the user to independently assign a unique numeric address code to any object, from an office in a business center to a transformer on a pole. The ability to add detailed information to a web-card of an object distinguishes Naviaddress from addressing by mailing addresses and geographic coordinates - and allows companies to effectively solve the “last-mile problem”. Naviaddress has a REST API, so you can use it when developing third-party services, games and applications in which you need to implement the addressing function.

What to do


NaviHACK programmers must develop applications using Naviaddress addressing technology for the delivery, e-commerce, repair and maintenance of facilities, tourism (hotels, taxis, restaurants).

Who can participate


Game developers, frontend and backend programmers. Independent companies, formed teams, individual developers can apply. Understanding the REST API is required.

How we will work


Hackathon is conducted online. Within 10 days - from September 20 to September 30, 2018 - participants develop new ideas and prototypes using the Naviaddress platform. You can create applications on the cases provided by the organizers - or implement your own ideas. We will provide a list of recommended cases before the start of the hackathon.

Who and how will evaluate projects


The hackathon jury - leading experts and leaders of the Naviaddress team - will evaluate the submitted projects according to two groups of criteria: performance evaluation and utility.
