Invent and create things in a team
Join us on our newly innovated hackathon with 24 hours of fun on 29 Februari – 1 March 2020. Everyone is welcome to join to create and pitch their ideas. Make your challenge reality and realise it with a team. Meet new people and join a team with nerds/geeks/super hero’s/designers etc.. Turn the “challenge” into a amazing and (of course) a working prototype you can pitch at the end of the hackathon. This years theme will be “The new economy” which is based on a new economy model where corporate social responsibility is one of the top priorities.
Also this year there will be sponsors and mentors from other companies available to make these 24 hours of programming an amazing success for you. At the end of the hackathon you have to pitch your idea together with your team to a jury of professionals, they will judge your prototype. Take the chance to win several prizes and meet a lot of new people!
