Developers and enthusiasts working to bring their Sifteo cubes ideas to life
The Sifteo SXSW 2011 Hackathon was a lot of fun! We had a great crew of developers and enthusiasts who joined us and spent the afternoon wrapping their heads around our alpha cubes SDK to build and demo their application ideas. Participants built apps for musical play, outer-space chemistry, competitive strategy, speed and reaction, and more!
Thanks again to our friends at Silverton Partners for hosting us, the space was awesome, and it was fun to imagine all the entrepreneurs that have pitched at the table where we hacked the afternoon away!
The Hackathon was more fun than I could have imagined. Thank you so much for allowing us access to the Sifteo platform, I really enjoyed hacking on such a compliant platform.
Hi, fifth-grade teacher here from Washington DC. Waiting for my cubes to arrive any day. I hope that the developers for this platform create some apps for the common core standards that almost all states are adopting. Computing area, perimeter, surface area, mean, median, mode, etc. would be really helpful. I can act as an advisor to anyone interested in creating such apps. Thanks!
