Hackathons can be in-house, focused on particular technology or spaces, a social issue, or policy challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-sRHyec\">Over the last year, we\u2019ve seen a shift from in-person events as COVID-19 has required extensive efforts to reduce the risk of exposure. While virtual events may lack the in-person experience, they present the opportunity to develop tremendous value and rapid innovation development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-P1OVSr\">Over merely days, teams can help deep dive on a specific problem and develop, test, and launch prototypes, which if successful, can lead to full-scale commercial services and initiatives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-rl5H1O\">This year Codemotion recently partnered with TIM, the largest Information and Communication Technology group in Italy, and Google Cloud for the <a href=\"https:\/\/events.codemotion.com\/hackathons\/hackathon-tim-smart-spaces\/home\/\">Smart Spaces Hackathon<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-iATzSN\">The hackathon attracted over 100 individual participants and highlighted the value of the TIM Digital Business Platform. This is significant as TIM transitions to a Telco as a Service (TaaS) model, which aims to enable the digital transformation of customers, ensuring a better <em>Time to Market<\/em> not achievable with traditional approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-iW32XK\">This document provides an in-depth analysis of the event: the logistics, the challenges, the stakeholders, and the benefits to all parties. It\u2019s particularly relevant to organisations that may be considering hosting, partnering, sponsoring, or contributing to a hackathon but are not sure where to start or how their company can reap the benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-1mAtOh wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-the-tim-hackathon\">Why the TIM hackathon?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-AJsw5x\">The hackathon provided an opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/dev-hub\/backend-dev\/smart-city-iot-microservices-oracle-proxima-city\/\">design new and intelligent spaces<\/a> featuring innovative services that can improve the places where we live, with a particular focus on the new scenarios deriving from the Covid-19 emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-oKipto\">The hackathon was underpinned by the TIM Digital Business Platform, offering a range of software with easy access for developers and \u201cready-to-use\u201d functions thanks to Application Programming Interfaces, and the Google Cloud platform of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/dev-hub\/cloud-manager\/cloud-computing-critical-component-innovation\/\">cloud-based computing services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-Rq56RD\">The initiative is also part of the activities of TIM WCAP, the Group&#8217;s open innovation programme for start-ups and SMEs. Created in 2009, the programme is now increasingly focused on fostering business initiatives that can enrich TIM&#8217;s digital service offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-JaOFUF\">\u201cThe best part of the hackathon has definitely been the collection of ideas that played a central role. We received a total of 15 projects! This was made possible thanks to a strong mentorship put in place to support the teams on their way. This activity, together with the standup meetings organised with the teams during the event days, made the hackathon a success!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right eplus-XTGNPs\">Giulia Proietti, Project Manager, TIM Smart Spaces hackathon for Codemotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-Fkv2qA wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-specifics-of-the-tim-digital-business-platform\">The specifics of the TIM Digital Business Platform&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-u6D5rc wp-block-list\"><li>The TIM Digital Business Platform consists of several APIs that provide uniform and standard access to as many services in the fields of Robotics, Media &amp; AI, Massive IoT, Communication, Smart Cities, VR \/ AR.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Access to these services takes place through the widespread REST architecture allowing, through the credentials provided to the teams, to use their favourite development environment and any language that supports it.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Complete documentation and the use of the OpenAPI Specification standard (via Swagger) provide the information necessary for the integration of the services offered with examples for Java, Android, Obj-C, JavaScript, C #, PHP, Perl, Python and Curl.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The APIs are also collected and made available in one practical collection for Postman making exploration and understanding even more accessible and thus extending the application examples to environments such as Nodejs, GO or Ruby.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Some APIs made available are developed by TIM and cover interesting applications, such as IoT, Blockchain Data Notarization and PKI, Authentication OTP, SMS, Air Quality, Robotics Infrastructure, and Pedestrian Detection.<\/li><li>Other APIs are made available by Google Cloud, such as Cloud Vision, Speech-to-text and accessible directly from the TIM platform making the access of participants uniform and making this hackathon an important opportunity to experiment with multiple scenarios.<\/li><li>&nbsp;The platform also documents and suggests some Google Cloud services not mediated by the TIM platform (for example DialogFlow, Geocoding, StreetView, &#8230;) to help participants develop further integrations with the APIs provided.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Google Cloud will also offer direct support to participants through mentorship and specific content.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The versatility of the TIM Digital Business Platform also allows integration with other important platforms such as Google Assistant for the creation of interactions through Google Home devices via Dialog Flow.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Participants familiar with the IFTTT platform could also try to expose some of the TIM services on the IFTTT platform with the subsequent creation of applets that combine the TIM services exposed with third-party services and devices.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-sy7ilR\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large eplus-PTcwD4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1012\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hackathon.jpg\" alt=\"Hackathon\" class=\"wp-image-11641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hackathon.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hackathon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hackathon-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hackathon-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\" \/><figcaption>Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.co\/a6\/a33720a1\">hackNY<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re8\/90029b5a\">Visual hunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\">CC BY-SA<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-TruOb0 wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-hackathon-challenge\">The hackathon challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-ZfZDlr\">The programme consisted of five areas with participants tasked to design and implement their innovations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"eplus-yRdz7o wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-topic-1-home\"><strong>Topic 1: Home<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-CsJoVa\"><strong>Our homes are an evolving space that adapts to the new dynamics of life, including the management of time, resources and entertainment.

You might need writers who can translate tech concepts into practices, designers who can share charts and graphics, and financial folks who can set a potential budget of costs in case you win the funds to finance your idea. Anyone who might be an end-user of whatever you are planning to build will have valuable insights and a perspective you may not have considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-ld3ZCH\">\u201c<em><span class=\"eplus-icon\">We are always working to improve and offer a better experience to our users. It has been challenging to succeed in making this opportunity accessible to our target users: we have been working with all the project\u2019s stakeholders to define the goals and make them clear and reachable in terms of their expected outcome. To do that, we had to work on both sides: with the promoter to find out and define the challenges, with the developers to support them at our best with our mentorship and resources<\/span><\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right eplus-YffZY8\">Giulia Proietti, Project Manager, TIM Smart Spaces hackathon for Codemotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-90Uj0o wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-benefits-to-companies-in-sponsoring-and-or-facilitating-a-hackathon\">What are the benefits to companies in sponsoring and\/or facilitating a hackathon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-8EaMM9\">According to Giulia Proietti, project manager of the TIM Smart Spaces Hackathon, there are many benefits for a company to get involved in a hackathon including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-oGs7Mq wp-block-list\"><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Collect <\/strong>new ideas<strong style=\"user-select: auto;\"> <\/strong>that can be useful to address an issue or stimulate the development of new business models<\/li><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Discover <\/strong>and get to know new professionals for future collaborations<\/li><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Launch <\/strong>(or re-launch) promote, enhance or boost the brand<\/li><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Promote <\/strong>a brand-new kind of event for marketing purposes<\/li><li><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Test <\/strong>a specific technology or promote the use of a particular tech product (i.e. tech adoption)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-lD1PuA\">\u201c<em><span class=\"eplus-icon\">With the initiative of &#8220;Smart Spaces Hackathon&#8221; TIM has confirmed its commitment to support the digital transformation of its customers, enhancing the partnership with&nbsp;Codemotion&nbsp;and Google, and the collaboration with the innovative start-ups of TIM WCAP program.
