Get together and hack something awesome with the Android Wear SDK. You will have two weeks time to come up with your ideas and implement a prototype which you can showcase on the IO Extended Zürich event in the google office on 25th of July. Each team will get a 5 minute slot to pitch their project, this will be done after we have seen the keynote together and as usual it will be a community voting by all participants of the event. What about prices? At this time we can’t guarantee anything as its not finalized but if we are lucky, there will be vouchers for getting a wear devices when they’re out.

Please join our community and post into the Wear Hackathon section @ http://goo.gl/dajzyG so you can find team mates or discuss on ideas. The hashtag for all posts related to this you can use is #AndroidWear and you are invited to share your project in the global wear community @ g.co/androidweardev.
