Twilio allows you to incorporate mobile messaging, phone calls and a ton of other awesome communication features right into your hackathon project using a web service API. Are you building an e-commerce website and want to send text notifications or email confirmations once an order is completed? Or maybe you'd like to verify users based on their mobile numbers? Twilio makes all this possible and more. Build a hack that simplifies your life using any Twilio API for a chance to win some awesome prizes! Get started with $50 in free credit!

Purposeful User Engagement (Fifth Third Bank)

$1,000 gift card from 5/3 that gets split between winning team members

It’s easy to spend time, money and effort on things that take us away from our goals and interests – gamification is everywhere and it’s easy to get sucked in. Create a way to flip the narrative. Make it easy and fun for a person to make the next best decision for themselves based on their real interests, whether it’s environmental, social, or financial. This could include gamification, a way to capture and utilize data, or a way to learn more about special interests.

Best Use of Clerk.dev

Clerk is more than a “sign-in box”. Integrate complete user management UIs and APIs, purpose-built for React, Next.js, and the Modern Web. Implement Clerk in your web application for the opportunity to win a pair of AirPods! Specific judging criteria includes clean style customization of our components, interesting use of components, and the User and/or Organization metadata.

Robotic Data Visualization (Kinetic Vision)

Mechanical Keyboard w/ custom Kinetic Vision keycap

Kinetic Vision works with a variety of partners to develop innovative solutions to complex engineering problems. Our Data Engineering and Robotics team specifically works with companies that develop, test, and utilize robots in industrial and medical research sectors.

Best Digital Solution to Improve the Clinical Trial Process (Medpace) (2)

Medpace is responsible for conducting clinical trials for biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies. Historically, clinical trials have always been done in a physical location, but recently the industry has seen a shift toward virtual trials. When clinical trials move to a virtual format, several vital factors must shift to be more participant-centric:

Logistics and tracking of shipping medicines to a participant's private residence, virtual healthcare services to create connected engagement with doctors, wearable/self-administered medical devices for collection of participant data, etc.

Your challenge is to create a digital solution involving one or more of these critical factors to improve the clinical trial process.
