Senior Software Engineer at John Deere

Next weekend, John Deere returns as a sponsor to HackIllinois. We are bringing back our popular hardware hack, "Build your own Autonomous Vehicle". This year, we are offering 5 different kit varieties available for 120 students! Students will have 36 hours to build a functioning autonomous vehicle. This year's prompt has a special focus on computer vision. Participating students will have access to mentors who work as engineers building John Deere's Autonomous Articulated Dump Truck. If you are participating in HackIllinois next weekend, I strongly encourage you to try the John Deere track! David Veasy Devak Nanda
