2024.07.19. The Fair Economy — The Seoul Metropolitan Government said on the 18th that it will hold the "2024 Seoul AIoT Hackathon" to uncover practical artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) services for its parks in partnership with creative citizens.
This hackathon was designed as an opportunity to combine AIoT with various urban data to improve inconveniences in Seoul's parks, enhance citizen convenience, and increase data utilization.
AIoT is a technology that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to analyze data collected from external environments using AI, providing citizens with customized services in real time through devices and platforms.
Any individual or team of two to four people who can produce web or app services, conduct big data analysis and visualization, or build Arduino prototypes using AIoT technology is eligible to participate.
Entries may cover any topic that contributes to the public interest and development by developing services to improve inconveniences in Seoul's parks and enhance citizen convenience using various data.
The competition will be held over two days without an overnight stay, from 10 a.m. on Oct. 10 to 2 p.m. on the 11th, at the DMC Advanced Industry Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo District. Registration is open from the 19th through Aug. 31.
Participants can apply by searching for "Seoul AIoT Hackathon" on the Seoul Metropolitan Government website (www.seoul.go.kr), reviewing the recruitment post and submitting an application form, a participation pledge, a consent form for the collection and provision of personal information, and a deliverable plan in PowerPoint format of no more than 10 slides.
Through document screening, 15 to 20 teams will be selected for the finals. The preliminary screening criteria are four items: proposal suitability, creativity, appropriateness, and feasibility and applicability. The results for the finalist teams will be announced on the city website starting at 2 p.m. on September 19.
Teams selected through the first document screening will gather at the DMC Advanced Industry Center in Sangam-dong from 10 a.m. on October 10 for an in-person hackathon. The next day, the 11th, after each team presents its results, a total of six teams, including one grand prize team, will be selected based on the judges' evaluation, and will receive the Seoul Metropolitan Government Mayor's Award and a total prize of 10 million won.
"Citizens who use parks directly are likely to have abundant ideas for improving inconveniences in their daily lives," said Park Jin-yeong, director of the city's Digital City Bureau. "We hope many people will show interest and participate in making more attractive parks using AIoT and urban data as ingredients."
