- High Power LEDs, such as used in a mobile phone flashlight
- different sensors, such as microphone, temperature, acceleration, light-sensors
- further electronics (batteries, arduinos, …)

Technical hardware description (list of what Osram will provide at Fashion Hack Day)

Are you a designer or creative?
Become part of a new generation of forward thinking first movers!
Fashion Hack Day will help you learn about technologies, getting cutting edge ideas and actually build and create something unseen before. You will work with experts that complement your needs and knowledge. This is a unique chance to network and build up your portfolio and a sure bet on the future.
Are you a developer, hardware lover or hacker?
We all love the rough and dirty style of prototyping. We want to look behind the cases, understand how things work and create something surprisingly new – that´s what hackathons are all about. Here´s what's new: This time you have the chance to collaborate with world-class designers, that will put their full knowledge and effort into making your hardware look amazing. These designers will understand your thoughts and needs, they will be selected prior the hackathon.
The Best Place in Berlin
Fashion Hack Day is taking place at the fabulous FabLab Berlin, the best place we can imagine for an event like ours.
