Hackathon Services

Turbo Boost your product development with Hackathon

Bristol UK Hackathon Space | Saint-Gobain

Hackathons can produce stunning results.  Co-develop with us over 2-3 days and reach milestones which normally will take you months in ‘normal’ development conditions. Our customers are so taken with the combination of space, equipment and our talented creative engineers (who eat, sleep and breathe challenge) that we have begun an independent service which we offer to wider range of organisations who are seeking creativity and innovation – speeded up!!!
 
So here it is -- a Hackathon service to turbo boost your development project, idea or solution to your problem. . .no strings, just innovation.
 

How does it work?

How our Hackathons work | Saint-Gobain
 
We work with you in advance of your hackathon, to lock into your project and get fixed on you want to achieve.  We encourage you to bring a few people from the current project team (and even those from your organisation who are not), to roll up your sleeves and get involved in defining the problem, ideating with us and trying your hand at some rapid prototyping.  You’ll be joined by 2-3 engineers handpicked from our group, who specialise your area of challenge.  We bring a vast array of skills and knowledge; from predictive design and rapid prototyping all the way to looking at the business model and commercial aspects to deliver on your problem or product.
 
We take you through a tried and tested process which delivers results:

 

Requirements Gathering | Hackathon Services | Saint-Gobain Requirements gathering: This is important. We need to understand your problem and what you are trying to achieve in order to fully contribute to your session. It’s common to find this first step is not clear so it’s a solid process for you too! We use a number of techniques to focus in.
Generate Ideas | Hackathon Services | Saint-Gobain Next is the idea generation phase: This is the bit that most groups find the easiest and no doubt you will have some ideas of your own. If not, we do have some techniques to prize out more creative nuggets and our fresh eyes might bring a new perspective.
Idea Ranking | Hackathon Services | Saint-Gobain Idea ranking: We then help you rank the projects considering the criteria you set during the requirements. We identify 1-3 ideas to take to the prototyping phase.
Prototyping | Hackathon Services | Saint-Gobain Then it’s on to the bit that you have been waiting for – some physical prototypes to assess the concept. We like to have at least one physical prototype and we can also make digital ones too. We want you to have something to touch and feel that conveys the concept idea.
Testing the Prototype | Hackathon Services | Saint-Gobain Test it out: Depending on the complexity, we will aim do some initial testing to ascertain the performance of the prototype vs. the target. We have many different types of mechanical testing facilities plus we can also do some simulated testing on more simple ideas.
Your Project is Turbo Boosted | Hackathon Services | Saint-Gobain And that’s it! Your project has been turbo boosted and you will have a clear direction of where you want to go! We’ll summarise all the work that we do over the session and give this to you digitally and you’ll have some physical parts in your hand and also some digital prototypes to take away.

 

Sound exciting? Contact us to talk about how we can turbo boost your project or provide a solution to your problem.
