Android Things lets you build professional, mass-market products on a trusted platform, without previous knowledge of embedded system design. With Android Things you get a turnkey hardware solution and an easy-to-use software development platform based on Android Studio and the Android SDK -- making it easy to build designs that scale to production. Android Things is currently in developer preview and we'd love to see what you can build with our latest release.
Today we are announcing a contest with Hackster and NXP for developers to showcase their use of Android Things with other Google developer platforms. Project ideas should be added to Google's Hackster.io Community by including Android Things as a software component, then registered through the contest page.
Submit your project ideas starting today. Ideas submitted by September 29, 2017 are eligible to receive one of 120 Pico Pi i.MX6UL Kits to use in the final design. During this phase, projects do not need to be complete; we just want to see your amazing ideas! We are looking for concepts in the following categories:
Final projects must be submitted by Oct 31, 2017. Your project does not need to be one of the chosen recipients of a Pico kit to be eligible for the grand prize. Winners will receive support from Avnet, Dragon Innovation and Kickstarter to take their ideas from prototype to production. See the contest page for more details.
We are eager to see the projects that you come up with. More importantly, we're excited to see how your work can inspire other developers to create something great with Android Things. To learn more about the benefits of Android Things, watch the recording from the Bootstrapping IoT Products with Android Things webinar. You can also join Google's IoT Developers Community on Google+, a great resource to get updates, ask questions, and discuss ideas.
