HSC2011
A major electronic component distributor suddenly realized that there is a huge market in the hackers and DIY community and founded a subcompany called element-14 to deal with us guys.
To get themself known they talked to the right people and these people had the right ideas.. and now there is a hackerspace challenge.
Many hackerspaces worldwide were contacted and asked to participaten and 30 hackerspaces have joined the challenge.
The hackerspaces got 6 weeks to design something that has a microcontroller and a portable powersource inside and can be used for education.
