ANALOG Devices International (ADI) is hosting a 2-day Hackathon to examine how ADI technology could be used to minimize the impact of flooding in Limerick and Ireland.
The brainchild of locally-based employees, the theme of ‘flooding in Ireland’ was chosen because of the impact it has had on so many lives in rural and urban Ireland including Analog staff.
Taking place in Thomond Park, Limerick today, 60 young people from across Analog have been gathered to develop proposals on how ADI technology could be used to address what has become a recurring national issue.
On Tuesday afternoon, each team will pitch their idea to the judges, Dragon’s Den style. The judges will decide which team wins, based on their assessment of which idea is the best use of ADI technology in alleviating the impact of flooding.
The company will then examine the feasibility of developing the winning concept into a solution for actual deployment by a relevant organisation.
